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。

Faith of our fathers, living still

The Church Her Faith

English830
1
Faith of our fathers, living still
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword,
O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene’er we hear that glorious word!
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!
2
Our fathers, chained in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free;
And blest would be their children’s fate,
If they, like them should die for thee:
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!
3
Faith of our fathers, we will strive
To win all nations unto thee;
And through the truth that comes from God
Mankind shall then indeed be free.
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!
4
Faith of our fathers, we will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife,
And preach thee, too, as love knows how
By kindly words and virtuous life.
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!

We will be true to the end, just as Jesus Christ is. And may our children also take this upon themselves to do so too.

This hymn always makes me to cry. It rekindles fire of commitment each time I listen to it. May we be true with the faith of our fathers till death.

The song dropped in my spirit during prayers. The message in this song is deep. I pray God will give my generation the strength to pass This Faith to the next generation.

I remember this song today in prayer. It's one of the 1st songs that I learned how to play on the organ, in school decades ago!

This was the first song my mom taught me. I must have been around seven or eight. I praise God for this Precious memory ♥️

God be blessed! This hymn came in my spirit as I was talking to God about me being kind and showing love to everyone I come in contact with - even those who seek to mean and persecute the church. The bible says by showing love to each other then the world will come to know him. (paraphrased). Let us love one another as children of God no matter the denomination.

In Matthew 24 , Christ tells us of the persecution we are bound to suffer because of our commitment to Him. Here in my nation, at the moment, we suffer something far more threatening than persecution. A sleeping church, a comfortable church, rejecting the reality of the truth of the word of God about persecutions and killings that are bound to happen (as the world gets darker) My question is, are we being prepared for these dark days and like the fathers of faith in time past, can we stand the persecution ahead? It is my prayer that we remain steadfast, for before that glorious day when Christ shall be revealed, dark days shall come.

Great! Faith of our Fathers, living still came to me strongly as l rounded off with my devotion this morning. The Lord Himself will help us to keep on contending for this faith that has been delivered unto us and also give us the grace to pass it on to our generations in Jesus name.

I was reading Jude 1:3b" ....... and exhort you that you should EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH WHICH WAS ONCE DELIVERED TO THE SAINTS". Then the Holy Spirit laid this hymn into my heart.

While singing and going through my brethren's comment, I could not hold my tears, because I was looking at how SELF has stopped us from being true to this faith of our fathers in my generation.

And this is my heart cry to God that he will give us the grace to be true to the Faith till the end
