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.

Praise the Lord! The God of glory

Praise the Lord! The God of glory
Who appeared to Abraham
Has appeared to us in spirit
For His purpose and His plan!
God of glory, God of glory,
Do appear to us today,
Saturate and permeate us
Till You fully have Your way.
2
Once we were in old Chaldea,
Worshipping the idols there;
But the God of glory called us,
Saved us all from Satan’s snare.
Get out, get out, from Chaldea,
From that evil foreign land.
Come in, come in, to the good land,
Christ, the church, the one new man.
3
With the calling comes the promise
Of the kingdom life on earth.
This becomes our strength and motive
To get out of all the dearth!
Lord, we’re crossing every river—
For this You must call us on,
Till Your kingdom and expression
On this earth are fully come.
4
This is now the highest gospel
To those still in Chaldee’s land—
Leave the fallen situation,
You’ve been chosen for God’s plan.
God of glory, God of glory,
Do appear to us each day,
Call us out into Your building,
Your desire on earth today.

Praise the Lord! The God of glory
Who appeared to Abraham
Has appeared to us in spirit
For His purpose and His plan!
God of glory, God of glory,
Do appear to us today,
Saturate and permeate us
Till You fully have Your way
With the calling comes the promise
Of the kingdom life on earth.
This becomes our strength and motive
To get out of all the dearth!
Lord, we’re crossing every river—
For this You must call us on,
Till Your kingdom and expression
On this earth are fully come.

Such a rich hymn to muster us to heed God’s calling. Appear to us today and every day.

Praise the Lord. He has saved us!
Once we were in old Chaldea.
Worshipping the idols there;
But the God of Glory called us,
Saved us all from Satan's snare.
Get out, get out, from Chaldea.
From that evil foreign land.
Come in, come in, to the good land.
Christ, the church, the one new man.
AMEN. CHRIST, THE CHURCH, THE ONE NEW MAN.
