Ada Ruth Habershon (1861-1918) was an English Christian hymnist. She met Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey in 1884 during their preaching tour of England. At their urging, she visited the United States, delivering a series of lectures on the Old Testament that were later published.
Habershon's first foray into hymn writing came in 1899, when she wrote several hymns in the German language. She wrote her first English language hymns in 1901, while ill. In 1905, Charles M. Alexander and R. A. Torrey toured the United Kingdom, and Alexander asked Habershon to write hymns for use during this evangelistic tour. Habershon ultimately sent Alexander over 200 hymns.
In this book she writes:
"THE consideration of the Old Testament types is one of the most interesting and helpful subjects for Bible study, and at the same time is absolutely necessary if we are rightly to understand the Word of GOD. The Old Testament is often viewed merely as a collection of historical tales, giving the origin of the Jewish people, and illustrating Oriental manners and customs; useful in supplying Sunday stories for the children, but of very little practical importance as to spiritual teaching."
