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.
10 Lesser known Christmas songs 1 Awake my soul
Awake my soul! Awake my tongue!
My glory wake and sing
To celebrate the holy birth
Of Israel's King.
Awake, awake my soul
Awake, awake awake my soul, awake my tongue
Awake me
O happy this night that brought forth the light
Which makes the blind to see
The Dayspring from on high came down to thee.
Awake, awake my soul
Awake, awake awake my soul, awake my tongue
Awake me
In Bethlehem
The Christ child he lies
Within a place obscure
Your Saviour's come
O sing to God on high
This is by Benjamin Keach and I know it from Page CXVI's Advent to Christmas
A fuller vision goes
Awake my soul! Awake my tongue!
My glory wake and sing
To celebrate the holy birth
Of Israel's King.
Awake, awake my soul
Awake, awake awake my soul, awake my tongue
Awake me
O happy this night that brought forth the light
Which makes the blind to see
The Dayspring from on high came down to thee.
Awake, awake my soul
Awake, awake awake my soul, awake my tongue
Awake me
In Bethlehem
The Christ child he lies
Within a place obscure
Your Saviour's come
O sing to God on high
