Spiritualist Hymnal (3rd ed.) ‎#55

55. Beautiful, Beckoning Hands

1 Beckoning hands at the gateway to night,
Faces a shining with radiant light;
Eyes looking down from yon heavenly home,
Beautiful hands they are beckoning "come."

Refrain:
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 higher the waiting ones here. [Refrain]

3 Beckoning hands of a little one, see!
Baby voice calling, O mother, for thee;
Rosy cheek'd darling, the light of the home,
Taken so early, is beckoning "come." [Refrain]

4 Beckoning hands of a husband, a wife,
Watching and waiting the lov'd one of life;
Hands of a brother, a sister, a friend,
Out from the gateway tonight they extend. [Refrain]
