Author: John R. Clements Hymnal: Christ in Song #596 (1908) Hymnal Title: Christ in Song Lyrics: 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] Topics: Living His Life Call to Activity Scripture: Ephesians 5:16 Languages: English Tune Title: [Buy up the opportunity]
