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.

Soldiers of Christ, arise

Spiritual Warfare With God’s Armor

English888
1
Soldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armor on,
Strong in the strength which God supplies,
Through His eternal Son;
Strong in the Lord of Hosts,
And in His mighty pow’r,
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.
2
Stand then in His great might,
With all His strength endued;
And take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God,
That, having all things done,
And all your conflicts past,
Ye may o’ercome through Christ alone,
And stand complete at last.
3
Leave no unguarded place,
No weakness of the soul,
Take every virtue, every grace,
And fortify the whole.
To keep your armor bright
Attend with constant care,
Still walking in your Captain’s sight
And watching unto prayer.
4
Pray, without ceasing pray,
Your Captain gives the word;
His summons cheerfully obey,
And call upon the Lord:
To God your every want
In instant prayer display;
Pray always; pray, and never faint;
Pray, without ceasing pray.
5
From strength to strength go on;
Wrestle, and fight, and pray;
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day:
Still let the Spirit cry
In all His soldiers, “Come!”
Till Christ the Lord descend from high,
And take the conquerors home.

My prayer partner had sent this song to me in a letter in April 2022 and I came across it yesterday. The words are so inspiring and encouraging. I had a dream many years ago of a huge neon sign “mobilise the Army of God! ” Now is the time. Let’s arise to be the church militant as in Song of Songs - ‘Who is she who looks forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun and terrible as an army with banners? ’ That’s us who obediently follow in the footsteps of the Lamb. Blessings, Judith 🕊

The more I go on in the wonderful Christian Life the more I realize the importance of prayer. God really wants us to talk to Him, to plead with Him, even to command Him in desperate prayer. This is much more profitable than trying to "fix" the situations we are praying for in our natural man.

Beautiful and inspiring hymn. I came across a great rendition of this hymn as a Viking shanty and was impressed by the Power of the words and it's immediate relevance even within our contemporary lives in the AI age.

A wonderful hymn that does rouse my spirit to put on my armour and move in Him and in all His ways.

Bless the Lord, As I was praying for the Body of Christ to arise as the earthly armies of God, Holy Spirit reminded me of this Hymn. It is so right on target for the season we are in. The Lord of the earthly armies is expecting us to arise and take a stand. For too long, we the soldiers of Christ have been lying dormant. Arise soldiers and take your place. Fight on our knees. In Jesus mighty name. Amen

I have been meditating on the Armour of God in Ephesians 6:10-18 and reflecting on Pilgrim’s progress also and JRR Tolkien’s’Lord of the Rings’ as well as my old school in Stonehouse, near Stroud in Gloucestershire where we used to sing this hymn in our daily chapel assemblies, straight after breakfast and before lessons ( it was a boarding school for 13-18yrs). Such a wonderful hymn by Charles Wesley which exhorts is to follow Paul’s command to

* stand your ground
* stand firm
* take your stand
* stand then

We can only do this if we are Strong on the Lord and on His mighty power, through daily exercises that strengthen our spiritual muscles as we meditate on Gods Word slowly and ask the Holy Spirit to write it on our hearts. Prayer changes things and in this current ‘ day of evil ‘ we are just called to STAND.

Note also that we are to put Von each piece of the armour in prayer but there is no protection for the back because we are called to face the enemy and also be part of an army where others ‘watch our back’ as we do for them,

The song is appropriate for these trying times... I taught my choir the song several years ago. And I can't find it in all my hymnbooks available I decided to check the music online and sing...

In God's strength, may we stand firm and not lose heart in the face of so much turmoil in our country. Charles Wesley's hymn is such a timely reminder.

John 16:33 [Amplified Bible] – "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you. ]"

We can put the armor on by daily enjoying the Lord. With the armor we become strong fighters for the Lord!

It is the dawn of the Sabbath. I am not in an environment to focus on the creative power of God nor to be focused on Him. In my bid to concentrate Jesus brought this song to my mind. I am greatly inspired that in the strength of the Lord alone I'll be more than conqueror. Praise be to God!!!
