Days of Heaven Upon Earth

by A. B. Simpson

While the days of heaven shall be.

Walk with us, Lord, through all the days,

And let us walk with Thee;

'Til as Thy will is done in heaven,

On earth so shall it be.

“He shall dwell on high” (Isa. xxxiii. 16).

It is easier for a consecrated Christian to live an out and out life for God than to live a mixed life. A soul redeemed and sanctified by Christ is too large for the shoals and sands of a selfish, worldly, sinful life. The great steamship, St. Paul, could sail in deep water without an effort, but she could make no progress in the shallow pool, or on the Long Branch sands; the smallest tugboat is worth a dozen of her there; but out in mid-ocean she could distance them in an hour.
