The similar phrase 'Worldly Christianity' is one used by Bonhoeffer. It's J Gresham Machen that I want to line up most closely with. See his Christianity and culture here. Having done commentaries on Proverbs (Heavenly Wisdom) and Song of Songs (Heavenly Love), a matching title for Ecclesiastes would be Heavenly Worldliness. For my stance on worldliness, see 3 posts here.

Thanks both

When the sun shines they slip into the shade (when the sun shines down)
And sip their lemonade (when the sun shines down)
When the sun shines, when the sun shines

And
But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down
