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.

The name of Jesus is our stand

Spiritual Warfare With God’s Armor

English887
1
The name of Jesus is our stand,
It is our victory;
Not on ourselves do we rely,
But, mighty Lord, on Thee.
Our weapons are not arms of flesh,
But ours the Spirit’s sword,
And God’s whole armor putting on,
We battle in the Lord.
2
Behold, the foe doth meet and plot,
Stand firm in one accord!
Though war be fierce and darkness thick,
Resist him in the Lord!
If one thru fear should backward turn,
He undermines the rest.
Oh, do not let your brothers down,
Nor by you be distressed.
3
The devil knows his time is short,
He is the more enraged,
And by his wiles would weaken us
Before the battle’s waged.
The trials now more numerous are,
The suff’ring e’en more sore,
The force of hell opposing us
More dreadful than before.
4
What should our posture be today
In such a desperate hour?
Should we our ease and pleasure seek
And let the foe devour?
Or with increasing conflict strong,
Courageous to endure?
’Tis here that life or death is won!
Who will God’s praise secure?
5
For Christ the Lord we then would stand,
He is the Conqueror!
For Him we would endure the pain
Until the fight is o’er.
The hour of triumph soon we’ll see—
The Lord will come again;
If now we suffer for His sake,
Then we with Him shall reign.

" The name of Jesus is our stand."
" The name of Jesus is our victory"
" Not on ourselves do we rely but mighty Lord on The."
" we battle in the Lord "

Praise God for the gift of Christ Jesus our saviour. For in Him, through Him and to Him are all things. In the church, it is in Him we live and move and have our being. Amen. Lord Jesus we love you. Amen.

The deep burden and the high thought of this hymn matches the thought, the pressing need for urgent, persistent, zealous spiritual warfare in the Body of Christ. The view this hymn gives us an absolute impetus to progress, to go on, to continue with all the saints in uncompromised spiritual warfare in and as the one Body of Christ. This hymn places aside absolutely the individualistic standpoint of spiritual warfare against the devil. In effect to war is to reign, because the more we war through Christ, the more we gain as our spoil (when formerly we were under the usurping hand of the devil through the flesh) the fuller enjoyment of Christ through whom we reign in life (Rom. 5:17) unto the absolute reward in His kingdom in that day where we fully reign with Him.

He sido conmovido profundamente por el Seor a traves de este himno, en la estrofa II dice: "Si uno se retira, el traiciona a los demas, no falles a los santos, ni aumentes su penar"

Aleluya!! En el Dios Triuno puedo ser uno con los santos!! los amo en Cristo!! Guardeme Seor de cualquier germen divisivo, tomo la cruz para relacionarme con los hermanos y permanecer firme en esta hora tan crucial cuando el fin de Satanas rapidamenete se acerca, Cristo es el Conquistador.
