See thread 2479 for more information: Circle
Habershon was the original, Fanny Crosby ca. 1907, A. P. Carter after WW1 (1930s). Haven't seen the movie, but the Carter version would be wrong for the period.
George Seto provided a link to the Fanny Crosby version (may not be completely accurate) in thread 36619: Fanny

The Grand Old Opry traditionally used the Crosby version, but I seem to remember it evolved into the Carter version
