These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

The Day of

The day of joy and happiness,
the day of strife and sadness ill,
the day of Christ, Who comes to bless,
and judge the world when Wrath does fill.

The Day of days when days will end,
and Time will be of days no more.
The day of joy's and sadness' blend
will be a mem'ry as of yore.

The day of making God has made,
and making still He does today.
His Day at first had good displayed,
the day went wrong of disobey.

The Day of Man is selfish, long.
We go our way to night, not day.
These days in line still hear Man's song,
until Heart's hard or learns to pray.

The Day of days and lasting Now
when Christ upon His Throne doth sit.
The Ancient of days before Him bow
when Time hath died, and Aye won't quit.
