關於簡譜

簡譜（Numbered Notation）以 1 到 7 的數字來表示旋律中的每個音，而不是用五線譜上的音符。數字代表這個音在該曲調音階中的級數，而非絕對音高，所以無論用什麼調演唱，同一首曲子的簡譜寫法都一樣。

同一個八度內，數字 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 對應大家熟悉的唱名 Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti。數字上方加一點，表示高八度；下方加一點，表示低八度──不加點則是原本書寫的中央八度。

單獨一個數字代表一拍。數字後面緊接一條短橫線（-），表示這個音延長一拍。數字下方加一條底線則相反，表示縮短時值──一條底線是半拍，兩條底線是四分之一拍。「0」代表休止符，也就是停頓一拍。

譜面最上方的標示，例如「1=C」或「1=Ab」，說明級數 1（「Do」）對應的實際音高。小調樂曲則標示「6=X」──級數 6（「La」）才是真正的主音。音符上方的和絃名稱（如「C」或「G7」）一律使用熟悉的字母名稱，不會改成數字。

例如在「1=C」的標示下，數字 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 唱出來是 C D E F G A B；在「1=G」的標示下，同樣的數字 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 卻唱出 G A B C D E F#──形狀相同，調性不同。

Christ comes quickly for His Bride

Hope of Glory Preparing for Christ’s Return

English1304
1
Christ comes quickly for His Bride,
Wedding feast He will provide,
Garments bright and pure supplied—
Dress in time!
Taking Christ as life she’s dressed,
By much suffering stitched and pressed;
Righteous acts are thus possessed—
Dress in time!
 
Be in time! Be in time!
For the marriage feast of Jesus
Be in time!
If your soul life you deny
And the Spirit you apply,
Then you’ll fully qualify—
Be in time!
2
Virgins Christ comes quickly for,
Those with oil an extra store,
Not the fools who oil ignore—
Buy in time!
For the oil a price we pay,
Deal with self without delay,
Fill your vessels every day—
Buy in time!
3
For His servants Christ will come
And reward each faithful one;
Slothful ones will be undone—
Serve in time!
Make your single talent count,
All self’s problems now surmount,
Serve with Christ, the living fount—
Serve in time!
4
Christ comes quickly for His grain,
Ripened firstfruits to obtain;
Unripe harvest will remain—
Ripen now!
From earth’s water grain must dry,
From the world your soul deny;
To mature the self must die—
Ripen now!
5
Overcomers Christ will take,
Those who all for Him forsake,
Those who of first love partake—
Win in time!
All the deadness overcome,
With the living Christ be one,
Toward the goal now swiftly run—
Win in time!
6
Christ comes for His kingdom too;
Heav’nly reign we must pursue,
Let His rule our self subdue—
Yield in time!
Rebel self must be dethroned,
Lessons must not be postponed,
Quickly yield to Christ enthroned—
Yield in time!

I am preparing for a memorial service coming up in September for Bill and Barbara Mallon, so I was looking for hymns that Bill had written. I was so glad to see this one preserved here, which Bill wrote. I am not sure what year it was.

Anyone that knew Bill and has heard him preach will recognize his style in this hymn. It is so well structured around the thought of preparing "in time" for the Lord's return. The entire hymn is based on this sense of urgency throughout the New Testament: We must dress in time, buy oil in time, serve with our talents in time, ripen like grain in time, win (run the race) in time, and yield to Christ over us in time.

Knowing Bill, it would not surprise me if he gave a message on this structure and then wrote this hymn afterwards.

Rest in the Lord's presence, dear brother Bill.

Gain Your bride, Lord! Gain Your counterpart! Grow in us unto maturity that we may be perfected and matured to be Your Bride. Make us Your overcomers, dear Lord, who hasten Your return and enter with You at the wedding feast. 🙏

Oh Lord Jesus we love you ❤️

WN said that the difference between the two groups of virgins was not that one of the groups had no oil in their vessels. Matthew 25 says that all had oil in their vessels. But the foolish ones didn't have that oil in time. He said this is why we need to redeem the time. We don't know when the Bridegroom will come for us. We have today. Lord, we give ourselves to buy oil today and not be those who say, our Master delays. We have NOW!

This song Reminds us of the Christian race. We need to pursue to gain the kingdom. “Rebel self must be dethroned, lessons not postponed, quickly yield to Christ enthroned (within us), yield in time”. Gain us for Your kingdom dear Lord Jesus.

Very powerful! Very sobering. reading this has lead to a good time of confession and prayer. Thank You Lord for songs like that which remind us of spiritual realities we so quickly close our eyes to. Amen.
