Beautiful Beckoning Hands { Beautiful Beckoning Hands WARE-George Kingsley Beautiful Beckoning Hands } Beautiful hands at the gateway tonight, Faces all shining with radiant light; Eyes looking down from yon heavenly home, Beautiful hands they are beckoning "come." Chorus Beautiful hands, beckoning hands, Calling the dear ones to heavenly lands; Beautiful hands, beckoning hands, Beautiful, beautiful, beckoning hands. Beckoning hands of a mother whose love Sacrificed life her devotion to prove; Hands of a father to memory dear, Beckon up higher the waiting ones here. Beautiful 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." Beckoning hands of a husband, a wife, Watching and waiting the loved one of life; Hands of a brother, an sister, a friend, Out from the gateway tonight they extend. Brightest and best of that glorious throng, Center of all and the theme of their song; Jesus, our Savior, the pierced One stands, Lovingly calling with beckoning hands.
