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.
