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.

I just watched a programme about trains in North Wales. One place they ended up was at the grave of John Ceiriog Hughes (1832-1887) in Caersws, He wrote his own englyn as an epitaph

Carodd fyw'n naturiol;
Carodd gerdd yn angerddol;
Dyma ei lwch, a dim lo


He loved musical words, he loved poets,

He loved to live naturally;
He loved a poem passionately;
Here is his dust, and no messing.
