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. JANUARY 1. “Redeeming the time” (Eph. v. 16). Two little words are found in the Greek version here. They are translated “_ton kairon_” in the revised version, “Buying up for yourselves the opportunity.” The two words _ton kairon_ mean, literally, the opportunity. They do not refer to time in general, but to a special point of time, a juncture, a crisis, a moment full of possibilities and quickly passing by, which we must seize and make the best of before it has passed away.
