Has anyone ever heard of these songs and do you know the artist of them. Thanks

(1) "Mother, Is There Room in Heaven for me?"

The little girl was trying to get her mother's attention. But the mother was busy baking and was bothered by her daughter. Then the girl got sick and was dying. In a delirious state, and feeling her mother has no room for her, she asks, "is there room in heaven for me?'"

(2)"An Angel Must Have Saved Her (for no one else was there)"

The story is that a little girl is left home alone. Her parents are in church and hear the fire engines go by. When they return home, their home is in ashes - it had burned to the ground. But on the ashes was standing their precious daughter - and then the lyrics, "an angel must have saved her for no one else was there."

IS THERE ROOM IN HEAVEN FOR ME?
(Music by A. B. C. – Arr. by C. B. A., published 1873.)

Is there room among the Angels for the spirit of your child?
Will they take your little Mary in their loving arms so mild?
Will they ever love me fondly, as my storybooks have said?
Will they find a home for Mary, Mary, numbered with the dead?

CHO: Tell me truly darling mother, is there room in heav'n for me?
Will I gain the home of spirits, and the shining angels see?

I have sorely tried you, mother, been to you a constant care,
And you will not miss me, mother, when I dwell among the fair,
For you have no room for Mary. She was "ever in your way,"
And she fears the good will shun her. Will they, darling mother, say? CHO.

I was not so wayward mother, not so very, very bad,
But that tender love would nourish, and make Mary's heart so glad.
O! I yearn for pure affection in this world of bitter woe,
And I long for bliss immortal, in that land where I must go. CHO.
