A parishioner has given me a copy (words and music) of a hymn to St Stanislaus Koska, beginning "Saint of our youth! Thy heart to gain, earth spread her glittering toys to gain" The tune begins in d and ends in F. The parishioner would like to know if the tune has a name. can anyone help please?

Does it really rhyme "gain" with "gain"? (Maybe it was written by Edward Lear.)

Is that "Saint of our young people" or "Saint of the days when we could run for a bus without risking a coronary" ...
