Man made the trough
The water God bestows
Then praise his name
From whom the blessing flows
John Allan
Hempsyke 1856
Weary stranger here you see
An emblem of true charity
Richly my bounty I bestow
Made by a kindly hand to flow
And I have fresh supplies from heaven
For every cup of water given
John Allan
Hempsyke 1858
The stream is pure as if from heaven it ran
And while I praise the Lord I’ll thank the man
