Rock of Ages reference

A             D         A
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
              E       A
let me hide myself in Thee
        E     E7      A
Let the water and the blood,
         E       E7         A
from Thy wounded side which flowed
              D      A
Be of sin the double cure;
                    E       A
save from wrath and make me pure.
 
A              D     A
Not the labors of my hands,
                E       A
can fulfill Thy law's demands
         E       E7      A
Could my zeal no respite know,
         E        E7   A
could my tears forever flow
                  D    A
All for sin could not atone;
                    E     A
Thou must save, and Thou alone.

A             D      A
Nothing in my hand I bring,
              E       A
simply to the cross I cling
       E       E7       A
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
          E       E7       A
helpless, look to Thee for grace
               D        A
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
                 E    A
wash me, Savior, or I die.
 
A                 D        A
While I draw this fleeting breath,
                     E        A
when mine eyes shall close in death
       E       E7       A
When I soar to worlds unknown,
    E           E7       A
see Thee on Thy judgment throne
              D         A
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
              E       A
let me hide myself in Thee.

Harmonies and octave

Text

Harmony

From the Latin harmonia meaning joining, concord, and from the Greek harmos meaning joint.

The combination of three or more sounds in a manner that produces a musically consistent, agreeable, pleasing whole.

Harmony, associations: Accompaniment, chords, triads, seventh chords, chorale style

Octaves

Many musical scales in the West use eight notes. The distance between the first and eighth note is called an octave. This octave distance can be broken down into 12 semitones (on a guitar, each fret is one semitone.) ... Also: playing any note an octave higher will double it's frequency vibration rate.
