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.

Consecration Attracted by the Lord’s Beauty

1
Sun in the day, the moon at night, declare how great is Thy
Lovingkindness and Thy faithfulness (Psalm 92:2)
Give life and breath to man, Your race
Longing for them to seek Your face (Acts 17:25-27)
Loved me, You’re not ashamed
“I have called you by name” (Isaiah 43:1)
Healed me, the brutish and lame
“I have held you by hand” (Psalm 73:23)
Your faithfulness, Your love untold
At last Lord You break my stronghold.
 
We consecrate anew
Do train, conform us to You
“May we be like the morning dew,
“How I love You”
Young people satisfying You.” (Psalm 110:3)
2
Your charming self and cheering love drew me to run to You
I thought I could be absolute
But how I’ve failed, how I’ve stumbled
To run this race divine by self
Now I abhor myself
“Look away unto Me” (Hebrew 12:2)
I just cannot prevail
“It is by My Spirit” (Zechariah 4:6)
I am faithless, You’re faithful still (2 Tim 2:13)
Your love is stronger than my will.
3
Your gracious gifts, Your holy calls are irrevocable (Roman 11:29)
Though I am not but You are able
From strength to strength, grace upon grace (Psalm 84:7, John 1:16)
Sustaining me to win the race
My life I give to You
“I will never leave you” (Hebrew 13:5)
My dreams and future, too
“Nor will I forsake you” (Hebrew 13:5)
Oh Lord I do! I do! I do!
I love You Lord I really do.

Oh Lord I do! I do! I do!

I love You, Lord, I really do.

This hymn really speaks to me at the moment.
Now I abhor myself.
"Look away unto Me"
I just cannot prevail.
"It is by My Spirit"
I am faithless, You're faithful still,
Your love is stronger than my will.

So many times we think we can do things in ourselves, and we just fail. But praise the Lord we have this Wonderful One who is always there for us to turn to! Thank You Lord You love us so much, we want to love You more.
