Ada Ruth Habershon (8 January 1861 – 1 February 1918) was an English Christian hymnist and writer, best known for her 1907 gospel song "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?"

Her parents were part of the Plymouth Brethren movement, although they also worshipped regularly at the Metropolitan Tabernacle.

Between 1883 and 1899, she joined her parents working at the ragged school at Gray's Yard, James Street, which provided education to children from poor backgrounds.

[2] She also worked with the London YWCA as finance secretary, raising donations towards the construction of the association's headquarters.

At the request of D. L. Moody, who she met again at the 1892 Keswick Convention, she visited the United States to deliver lectures on the Old Testament.

Her books included prefaces by noted evangelical leaders, such as Sir Robert Anderson and James Martin Gray, and were reviewed in periodicals such as The Churchman and The Expository Times.

At the time, it was common for Christian women to publish semi-anonymously under initials, but Habershon always wrote under her name.

In her discussions of connections between Old and New Testament, Habershon was often thorough; in her Study of the Types, she mentions over 120 parallels between Joseph and Christ.

[2] In 1907, a collection of her hymns was published, in collaboration with Robert Harkness, under the title Twelve Sacred Songs.

[1] Her hymn "When I Feel My Faith Will Fail" received renewed popularity in 2013, when it was set to new music with an additional verse by Matt Merker.
