Über die Zahlennotation

Die Zahlennotation (auch Jianpu oder 简谱 genannt) schreibt jede Melodienote als Zahl von 1 bis 7 statt als Note auf einem Notensystem. Die Zahl zeigt die Stellung der Note in der Tonleiter des Liedes -- nicht ihre genaue Tonhöhe --, sodass dieselbe Melodie unabhängig von der gesungenen Tonart gleich aussieht.

Innerhalb einer Oktave entsprechen die Zahlen 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 den bekannten Solmisationssilben Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti. Ein Punkt über einer Zahl hebt sie um eine Oktave an; ein Punkt darunter senkt sie um eine Oktave ab -- ohne Punkt bleibt es bei der mittleren, so geschriebenen Oktave.

Eine einzelne Zahl dauert einen Schlag. Ein Bindestrich (-) direkt nach einer Zahl hält dieselbe Note einen weiteren Schlag lang. Ein Strich unter einer Zahl verkürzt sie dagegen -- ein Strich ist ein halber Schlag, zwei Striche ein viertel Schlag. Eine 0 ist eine Pause: ein Schlag Stille.

Die Angabe oben auf dem Notenblatt, zum Beispiel "1=C" oder "1=Ab", zeigt, auf welcher Tonhöhe die Stufe 1 ("Do") liegt. Ein Lied in Moll trägt stattdessen die Angabe "6=X" -- Stufe 6 ("La") ist dann der eigentliche Grundton. Akkordsymbole über den Noten (wie "C" oder "G7") werden immer mit ihren gewohnten Buchstabennamen geschrieben, nie als Zahlen.

Bei der Angabe "1=C" klingen die Zahlen 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 als C D E F G A B. Bei "1=G" klingen dieselben Zahlen dagegen als G A B C D E F# -- gleiche Form, andere Tonart.

Christ is the mystery of God

The Church The Mystery of Christ

English818
1
Christ is the mystery of God;
God is invisible, unshown,
His image man hath never seen,
But Christ the Son hath made Him known.
2
Christ is the very Word of God,
He is God’s explanation true;
God’s full embodiment is He
And God’s own image brings to view.
3
Image of God invisible,
Effulgence of God’s glory fair;
God’s fullness ever dwells in Him,
God’s testimony He doth bear.
4
The Church the myst’ry is of Christ,
For He is now to man unshown;
No man on earth may see Him now,
But thru the Church He is made known.
5
The Church is Christ’s expression full,
In her Christ dwelleth bodily;
She is His duplication true,
And man in her Himself may see.
6
The Church the image has of Christ,
She is His increase and His spread;
Christ’s very self is found in her
The Body, she, to Christ the Head.
7
Thus, in the Son the Father is,
And now the Spirit is the Son;
The Spirit of the triune God
Is in the Church and with her one.

Hallelujah, we have the life of God and we’re joined to the Lord as one spirit! The Triune God is in us, joined to us in our spirit, to be expressed through us! Hallelujah for the church! Hallelujah for the Triune God! Hallelujah for the church in the Triune God! 😀

Christ is the mystery of God;
God is invisible, unshown,
His image man hath never seen,
But Christ the Son hath made Him known.
Amen amen ….

This hymn helps us to focus on the central line of God's purpose, that is, Christ as the mystery of God and the church as the mystery of Christ (Col. 2:2; Eph. 3:4). We need to ask the Lord to show us this central vision of Paul's completing ministry. "Lord, keep us always in the central lane-the focus of Your economy."

Yes, this hymn is truly beautiful. The words are truly wonderful because they convey the reality of what the church is today. This is a hymn to treasure and to memorize. I thank the previous brother for sharing this hymn with all of us.

Sometimes, I just want to throw up my hands and say, "Its all too much! Too much theology! What is God? What is Christ? What is the Church? Nothing is practical!

I was feeling like that today when I came across this glorious hymn. The words are just mind-blowing. I cannot express what I saw in reading the words of this song. I saw God's economy in a totally new light, and I was so refreshed by the vision of it, however small it may be.

What we see here is that God is invisible and unknowable in Himself. Yet, in Christ we have the image of the invisible God, the effulgence of His glory, all God's fulness, God's testimony! Christ is God's explanation. Christ is God's embodiment. He is the very Word of God! To sum up: Christ is the mystery of God.

Now how does this relate to us? Well, we, the Church, are the mystery of Christ (who is the mystery of God!). Because now Christ is also invisible. Yet, He is known and seen in the Church! The Church is Christ's full expression, His dwelling-place, His duplication. The Church is in Christ's image. The Church is Christ's increase and spread. Wow!! Do we see the glorious link here? God is revealed in Christ who is revealed in us! I am once again just filled with awe at God's arrangement and can do nothing but thank and worship Him! There is no other way for me to conclude but by quoting the last verse:

"Thus, in the Son the Father is. And now the Spirit is the Son; The Spirit of the triune God Is in the Church and with her one."
