Analysis of Although the curtain falls
There comes a time for all of us, when we must say good-bye
But faith and hope and love and trust, can never really die.
Although the curtain falls at last, is that a time to grieve?
The future's fairer than the past, if only we believe.
and trust in God's eternal care, so when the master calls,
Let's say that life's still more fair, although the curtain fall's.
