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.

I am so glad that our Father in heav’n

Assurance and Joy of Salvation Loved by the Lord

English291
1
I am so glad that our Father in heav’n
Tells of His love in the Book He has giv’n;
Wonderful things in the Bible I see:
This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.
 
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me;
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves even me.
2
Though I forget Him and wander away,
Still He doth love me whenever I stray;
Back to His dear loving arms would I flee,
When I remember that Jesus loves me.
3
Oh, if there’s only one song I can sing,
When in His beauty I see the great King,
This shall my song in eternity be:
“Oh, what a wonder that Jesus loves me.”

My Saviour through Prophetic utterance, in the Church prayer meeting on Friday 8/12/22 in Nigeria, sent this song for me to sing, to overcome the evil confederation against me. He really loves me.

We have been called out of Darkness to light.
From Sin to Righteousness.
From Damnation to liberty.
From humanity to be now associated with Divinity.
What a great thing to know that Jesus Loves me!

For over two years now as a child of God, still I have been wallowing in sin thinking it's just a mere thing, not knowing that I have been off the will of God for me, not untill the 3rd of June, 2022, He opened my understanding with a scripture, I felt I was finished with the level of things that were happening to me, I thought He can never forgive me again neither accept anymore. So I kept asking and praying for Mercy untill the following day in the morning, this amazing song just dropped in my spirit, I tried search for it left and right till I dashed into the online space where I found it here. As I started singing it, the Love of my Jesus began to appear so real to me. Cudos to the very composer of this lovely song!

We can't reciprocate to the same capacity
But we can LOVE Him.

Oh, what great hymn this is.

Woke up this evening to have this song been sung inside my mind. For the past few days it's been coming and coming but I have no idea what the lyric is. I said to myself that it's time to look for it and here I came.

Jesus does love me indeed. With all the problems I'm going through, he's giving me reasons to come to Him for I'm weary & burdened, and I know I shall find rest in Him.

Thanks for this opportunity.
