WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN?
"Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" is a popular Christian hymn written in 1907 by Ada R. Habershon with music by Charles H. Gabriel. The song is often recorded unattributed and, because of its age, has lapsed into the public domain. Most of the chorus appears in the later songs "Can the Circle Be Unbroken" and "Daddy Sang Bass".

I started correcting people that the song "Will the Circle be Unbroken" is actually named "Can the Circle be Unbroken". Eventually I came across the "Will" title so much that I decided that I needed to look it up. It turns out, according to Wikipedia, that "Can the Circle be Unbroken" was reworked by A. P. Carter from the hymn "Will the Circle be Unbroken?" that dates from 1907.
