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

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.”

At my closest with the Lord today, 22/09/23 at 2:26am. I started singing this song and had to browsed its full lyrics to sing to my Dearest Lord who loves me despite all my sins. He assured me of His LOVE at the peak of my restlessness, when I lost hope in everything including my Dear wife who saw nothing in me despite care, love and support to her as a husband; aborted my children in the first 5yrs in marriage and kept doing that after two children! with no reason till date. God thank you for the Grace to keep moving on! God bless the two and provide🙏 for those in need of children! 🙏Amen🙏!

This song has brought hope for me that Jesus Christ love me so dearly when I lost my mother, it was as if I can not get replacement of the love my mother has towards me but this song always inspire me even on my crying bed at night whenever I remembered my mother that the love Jesus have for me is agape love, this song always make me to understand that the love Jesus have for me is even more than the love of earthly loved ones. Oh how sweet the love of Jesus!

The song came after my personal morning devotion that Jesus Christ loves me that He will always be there for, supply all my needs and keep me safe. That no matter what I face Jesus will not leave to perish. So am holding on to Him ( Jesus Christ)
