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.

Strawbs Lay Down



Here's some good seventies pop by The Strawbs from TOTP2 (you know how he came by the words)

By still waters I lay down with the lambs
In pastures green I made peace with my soul
And I cared not for the night
While my guiding star shone bright
By still waters I lay down.

Lay down, I lay me down for my soul.

At the roadside I took toll of my times
In dirty streets I found peace for my soul
May the merciful be right, Are you ready for the night
At the roadside I lay down.

In deep sorrow I took flight with the sun
From mountains high I gained strength for my soul
I proved stronger than the test
When my spirit came to rest
In deep sorrow I lay down.
