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.

Come, Lord Jesus

Longings For Christ’s Second Coming

New Songs285
1
As we become the same as Christ
In life, nature, expression, and function,
We are qualified to work with Him
For His Body.
2
As we trust in the Lord helplessly,
Depend on Him as our love and strength,
And listen to His speaking,
Our hope is to be raptured
Through the redemption of our body.
 
And our prayer is—
“Come, Lord Jesus!”
And our prayer is—
“Come, Lord Jesus!”
“Come, Lord Jesus!
Lord Jesus, come!”

This song matches the feeling and sentiment of the later chapters of Song of Songs where the lover of the Lord has maturity of life and is able to not just work for the Him but work together with the Him. In Song of Songs 7:11 she is calling the Lord to come, "Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields; / Let us lodge in the villages. ” This shows that she wants to carry out with her Beloved the work that is for the entire world.
