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.

Lift that Name high! That glorious Name

Praise of the Lord His Name

English77
1
Lift that Name high! That glorious Name,
Let heav’n and earth its pow’r proclaim;
Our mighty, conqu’ring, coming King,
Earth yet shall with His praises ring.
2
Lift that Name high! To that high tower
We flee in every trial hour,
Safe, sheltered, satisfied and free,
For Jesus’ Name is victory.
3
Lift that Name high! Until one day
His mighty Name the earth shall sway,
And sin and death, distress and pain
Shall be no more, for Christ shall reign.
4
Lift that Name high! Jesus shall reign,
And kings shall follow in His train;
Lift that Name high, all names above,
The Name of Him we own and love.
5
Lift that Name high! For every knee
Shall bow to Him; Jesus shall see
Fruit of His Cross, when earth shall bring
Her tribute to her Lord and King.

Praise the LORD Jesus for His grace toward mankind! May we believers remember that through all this pandemic, the trial hour, we have Christ Jesus as our high Tower to shelter us from the tempest storm and grant us the privilege to lift up the Name of Jesus high! Let the earth sound and resound the name of God and of His Son Jesus Christ! Amen Jesus is Lord!

I always appreciated the " fruit of His cross" as the Body of Christ through His death and resurrection. Today, I enjoy seeing the fruit of the cross as the ashes of the burnt offering from the altar, which the world despised but God highly regarded and set it toward the east for resurrection. These ashes will become gold, silver and precious stones for the building of the New Jerusalem. This is the fruit of His cross that the earth shall bring as a tribute to her Lord and King!
