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.

Immersed in Thy love

Experience of Christ Loving Him

Immersed in Thy love;
Fresher than morning dew;
Here I’m kept away from every earthly care.
Such tender feeling;
Caressed by my Beloved;
You’re the loveliest, much fairer than the fair.
 
Moments with You,
How affectionate!
Now I seize this opportunity to say
That I love You.
I will be with You all my days, come what may.
2
I cannot help it,
I’m so in love with You;
For I’ve tasted Your divine heavenly wine.
I’m soaked with Thy love,
I pour my all on You.
What my future holds for me, my Lord are Thine.
3
I’m so attracted
By Your constraining love,
And Your Name is sweet as ointment poured forth.
I’m captivated
By Your dear Person, Lord.
Draw me from this age to pursue only You...

Oh Lord Jesus
Moments with You,
How affectionate!
Now I seize this opportunity to say
That I love You.
I will be with You all my days, come what may.

This song really touches me. A friend introduced it to me, and frankly I can't stop listening to it. The chorus is really touching because it is true.

There is no earthly moment that is more affectionate, ones that make your more in love.

Oh Lord Jesus, I just love you!

I really enjoyed this hymn after reading this portion:

Rom. 6:3, note 1

Baptism is not a form or a ritual; it signifies our identification with Christ. Through baptism we are immersed into Christ, taking Him as our realm, that we may be united with Him as one in His death and resurrection.

Wow! Immersed into Christ!

This word immersed reminded me of baptism. I was so touched by this word: " It is not the soul itself but the life of the soul, which has been counted by God as hopeless and has been put on the cross and crucified with Christ. Formerly, our soul acted as an independent person, with the old man as its life and personality; now, since the old man has been crucified, our soul should act only as an organ of Christ and should be under the control of our spirit, having Christ as its life. "

I feel that this is so loving of God to know that our old man is hopeless and instead of to leave us in this state would include us in the baptism of Christ, and not only this but that we might have Christ as our very life. To me this is so loving of God. In baptism we have been immersed into Christ through the love of God. Each day we can enjoy a fresh immersion!
