Days of Heaven Upon Earth

The Days of Heaven

The days of heaven are peaceful days,
    Still as yon glassy sea;
So calm, so still in God, our days,
    As the days of heaven would be.

The days of heaven are holy days,
    From sin forever free;
So cleansed and kept our days, O Lord,
    As the days of heaven would be.

The days of heaven are happy days.
    Sorrow they never see;
So full of gladness all our days,
    As the days of heaven would be.

The days of heaven are healthful days,
    They feed on life’s fair tree;
So feeding on Thy strength, O Christ,
    Our days as heaven may be.

Walk with us, Lord, thro’ all the days,
    And let us walk with Thee;
Till as Thy will is done in heaven,
    On earth so shall it be.
