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.

Standing on the promises of Christ my King

Assurance and Joy of Salvation A Firm Foundation

English340
1
Standing on the promises of Christ my King,
Through eternal ages let His praises ring,
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
 
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
2
Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.
3
Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.
4
Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.
5
Standing on the promises I shall not fall,
List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call.
Resting in my Savior as my All in all,
Standing on the promises of God.

Grew up playing organ and singing these hymns in church. Love them and don't like the new music of today at all. I really can't worship God with the music of today! Finally found a church that sings hymns where I leave refreshed instead of upset.

There will never be a replacement for the old hymns of the church. Praise be to our Lord and Savior. I grew up singing these hymns and learned to harmonize. The new praise and worship music doesn't have good solid harmony.

The only solid ground I ever choose to stand on without thinking twice. He is my cornerstone my everything.. He defeated death, gave me another chance at life by giving up his own, he’s name is Jesus Christ my Redeemer.. What kind of Love is that??

No amount of time in this life will ever be enough proclaim his goodness!

Yes! Again and again I am standing on the Promises of God Almighty.

It is lovely singing hymns to God, and it reminds my of high school day when hymn was mandatory during the morning assembly before classes begin.
