Buy up the opportunity, O Christian

1 Buy up the opportunity,
O Christian, buy today;
For Heaven's ageless mansions buy,
Buy treasures while you may.

Chorus:
Buy up the opportunity,
The souls for when Christ died,
Buy up the opportunity,
Buy for the Crucified.

2 Buy up the opportunity,
It may not long remain;
The evil hosts are bidding, too,
Those precious souls to gain. [Chorus]

3 Buy up the opportunity,
Pay any price to win;
With Heaven's legions watching you,
To falter will be sin. [Chorus]

4 Buy up the opportunity,
At home; in lands afar;
Go quickly! Find the jewels rare,
Each soul a glowing star. [Chorus]
