Overshadowed Are the Skies

Author: Elsie Duncan Yale Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: O’ershadowed are the skies Refrain First Line: Seek not the living with the dead Lyrics: 1 O’ershadowed are the skies, The earth in slumber lies, The garden glade is wrapped in gloom; We haste with eager feet, We bring our spices sweet, To Him who lies in sealed tomb. Refrain: Seek not the living with the dead; Lo! He is risen, as he said; Vainly ye bear Him spices sweet; Haste with rejoicing now your Lord to greet! 2 O’ershadowed are the skies, We seek with weeping eyes The place where lies our Saviour slain; And from each sadden’d heart All joys fore’er depart For hope of endless life is vain! [Refrain] 3 O’ershadowed are the skies, No dawn for us shall rise, And light of life fore’er hath fled; The Lord of light and love, Who came from realms above, The Saviour of the world lies dead. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [O’ershadowed are the skies]
