Lyricist's name is "Stopford," which is pretty goofy. I guess it was his mother's maiden name and they wanted to keep it in the family, but that's still not a very common English name!
I like the idea of having "the arts," "knowledge," and "law" each use their skills and talents to praise God, culminating in "all who work and all who wait." (Milton allusion?) Reminded me of some good graduation-type hymns. Also, we have "the north to southern pole," now we have some more latitude to go with the time zones!
