Will the Circle Be Unbroken

Mountain music, or bluegrass music, has a way of staying with us, regardless of where we live, as much of it is descended from the English and Irish ballads and special songs.  Religion is expressed in simple ways, especially when faith is accompanied by a love, the love of family, the love for a mother.  So it is with Will the Circle Be Unbroken.  It was a Carter family favorite, also recorded by Johnny Cash and many other country western singers.  But it was a favorite of folk singers as well.

Will the Circle Be Unbroken is a hymn that has been popular for generations.  It was written by Ada R. Habershon with melody by Charles H. Gabriel.
