Some verses from Dietrich Bonhoeffer, written whilst awaiting execution.

Men go to God when they are sore bestead,

Pray to him for succour, for his peace, for bread,

For mercy for them sick, sinning, or dead;

All men do so, Christian and unbelieving.

Men go to God when he is sore bestead,

Find him poor and scorned, without shelter or bread;

Whelmed under weight of the wicked, the weak, the dead:

Christians stand by God in his hour of grieving.

God goes to every man when sore bestead,

Feeds body and spirit with his bread;

For Christians, pagans alike he hangs dead,

And both alike forgiving.

Bonhoeffer, Letters & Paper from Prison, Folio, p. 319

 Physical rupture testing carried out in October & November 2020

Wire sizes are suitable for use in a small clavichord

 

Steel Music Wire

0.18mm diameter publ. max.:  6.10kg tested max.: 5.58   - safe max.: 4.98kg

0.19mm diameter publ. max.:  6.79kg tested max.: 5.07 - safe max.: 4.52kg

0.21mm diameter publ. max.:  8.30kg tested max.: 7.35 - safe max.: 6.55kg

0.22mm diameter publ. max.:  9.11kg tested max.:  8.01 - safe max.: 7.14kg

0.23mm diameter publ. max.:  9.95kg tested max.: 10.15 - safe max.: 9.05kg

0.25mm diameter  publ. max.: 11.76kg tested max.: 11.99 - safe max.: 10.69kg

Figures in red are where the published figure is higher than the tested maximum tension.

"Tested maximum" indicates the tension at the semitone point at A440hz which the string 

sustained immediately below the rupture point.

The "safe max", minus 2 semitone figure seems to be a safe working maximum tension.  JG

The rupture testing was carried out on a beam of wood mounted with a wrest pin at each end--574mm apart.    

The string was then tensioned and its pitch noted as it attained each semitone at A440hz. 

Two semitones below the point of rupture was noted, and this is the "safe max" figure, to allow for a safe seasonal rise of one semitone.

I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also… 1Cor 14.15

I set out to add a verse of scripture to each line of each hymn in the 1973 Little Flock Hymn book.

Then I wanted to set all the tunes which I sang to each hymn. 

Lastly, I added the opening melody of each tune, in numbers expressing the degrees of the musical scale.

Here is a sample. I can send a PDF of the whole thing.

I can also send a printable A5 version without the scripture texts--a version

of about 200 pages which is usable conveniently in public

1,     Of all the gifts	Jas 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Thy love bestows,	Acts 17.25  he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things
Thou Giver of all good!	Acts 14.17  doing good, and giving to you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.
E'en heaven itself no richer knows	Rev 5.9  they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy... for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood
Than the Redeemer's	1Peter 1.18,19  ye were redeemed with... the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot
blood.	Ro 3:24,25  Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:  whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
2,    Faith too, that trusts the blood	Ro 3:25  Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood,
through grace,	Eph 2.8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God
From that same grace we gain;	Titus 2.11  the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared
Else, sweetly as it suits our case,	Ro 10:14,15 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?  And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
The gift had been in vain.	Heb 12.15  lest any man fail of the grace of God
3,   We praise Thee, and would praise Thee more;	Ps 71:14  But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
To Thee our all we owe;	1Cor 6.19,20  ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a price
The precious Saviour,	1Pe 2:4,6  To whom coming, [as unto] a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, [and] precious…  Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
and the power	John 16.13,14  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
That makes Him precious too.	1Pe 2.7  unto you that believe he is precious
