Beckoning hands at the gateway tonight, Faces a-shining with radiant light; Eyes looking down from yon heavenly home, Beautiful hands, they are beckoning " Come."
Beautiful hands, beckoning hands, Calling the dear ones to heavenly lands ; Beautiful hands, beckoning hands, Beautiful, beautiful beckoning hands,
2. Beckoning hands of a mother, whose love Sacrificed life its devotion to prove; Hands of a father, to memory dear, Beckon up higherthe waiting ones here.
3. Beckoning hands of a little one, see ! Baby- voice calling, O mother, for thee ; Rosy-cheeked darling, the light of the home, Taken so early, is beckoning " Come."
4. Beckoning hands of a husband, a wife, Watching and waiting the loved one of life ; Hands of a brother, a sister, a friend, Out from the gateway to-night they extend.
5. Brightest and best of that glorious throng, Centre of all, and the theme of their song â Jesus, our Saviour, the pierced One, stands, Lovingly calling with beckoning hands.
