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.

To God be the glory, great things He hath done

Worship of the Father His Redemption

English39
1
To God be the glory, great things He hath done,
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life our redemption to win,
And opened the life-gate that all may go in.
 
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice;
Oh, come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory; great things He hath done.
2
Oh, perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
3
Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport when Jesus we see.

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!!! Was with my wife and young son at camp meeting in early 1980s and songs with personal testimonies. We both were Baptized at Indian Lake while our son played as children should I remembered singing this Hymnal with about 50 others loud and with tambourines my soul sees and hears it now as if it were yesterday. Love one another as JESUS LOVES US.

I was given this hymnal in the dream couldn't find it in my A&M so I googled it out and you did a good job with the tune n keyboard God bless you.... But the 1st stanza has a Discrepancy " who yielded His life as atonement for sin" not "'Our redemption to win"

Thanks and God bless you

I remember with fondness how my father in law, Eddie Johnson, who died last year aged 95 years old in Cape Town, used to sing this hymn. I thank our Lord that he cared so much for his family and his friends. May he rest in peace.

Thank you for taking the time to put this song online.

It comes very handy to sing praises unto the Lord whenever the song flashes through my mind.

We cannot but give God all the glory.

He is the reason why we are still alive.
