About Numbered Notation

Numbered Notation (also called Jianpu, 简谱) writes each melody note as a number from 1 to 7 instead of a note on a staff. The number shows the note's position in the song's scale -- not its exact pitch -- so the same tune looks identical no matter what key it's sung in.

Within one octave, the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 correspond to the familiar do re mi fa sol la ti. A dot above a number raises it an octave higher; a dot below lowers it an octave lower -- no dot means the middle, as-written octave.

A plain number lasts one beat. A dash (-) right after a number holds that same note for one more beat. A line underneath a number shortens it instead -- one line is half a beat, two lines a quarter of a beat. A 0 is a rest: silence for one beat.

The label at the top of the sheet, like "1=C" or "1=Ab", shows which pitch scale degree 1 ("do") is tuned to. A song in a minor key is labeled "6=X" instead -- scale degree 6 ("la") is the true tonic. Chord names printed above the notes (like "C" or "G7") always use their familiar letter names, never numbers.

For example, under a "1=C" heading, the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 sound as C D E F G A B. Under a "1=G" heading, those very same numbers sound as G A B C D E F# instead -- same shape, different key.

There is a fountain filled with blood

Gospel The Blood

English1006
1
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains:
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.
2
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away:
Wash all my sins away,
Wash all my sins away;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
3
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed ones of God
Be saved, to sin no more:
Be saved, to sin no more,
Be saved, to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed ones of God,
Be saved to sin no more.
4
E’er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die:
And shall be till I die,
And shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
5
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll sing Thy power to save:
I’ll sing Thy power to save,
I’ll sing Thy power to save;
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll sing Thy power to save.

I just started humming the song and it went deeper. I really, actually longed to sing it. So I search on Google. There it was. I sang it over and over and repeatedly. Can I still mention that, I teared all through. Soaked in the worship of our Lord Jesus Christ. It's really is of hope and assurance of the final. Halleluyah. I pray that the lost souls will come to the knowledge of our Lord God, Jesus Christ. Amen

The last verse is my favorite, it speaks to me. But please note that the words as they're typed above are reversed. It should start with "then in a nobler, sweeter song" followed by "I'll sing thy power to save, when this poor lisping stammering tongue lies silent in the grave," and then repeat, "lies silent in the grave." I hope this helps. I love you, my brothers and sisters, in Christ alone.

I never heard this song before. It is a song I am going to ask my Church to add to the list of songs that they sing. Thank you for the hope it gives. God keep and bless you. Amen

I love this hymn too. For some reason it came to mind this morning but I couldn't remember all the words, so had to search it out. The words are so simple and yet so profound. I pray that my son and daughter may come to know the truth in this hymn for themselves. May you all know God's blessing through Jesus Christ.

I love this hymn, still remember the words, we had hymn books in church then, 1964. We must keep singing about the blood.

I have listened to this song since I was a little girl. And I am way into my 60s at this time. I’ve always loved this song. I love the lyrics to it and I love the music part to it. I don’t know what you call them. But thank you for them and you’re willingness too, still keep them good hymns out there cause we all need them and I love them
