#410: All Glory Be to God on High

What do the two vertical lines mean before the last measure?

In general musical notation: "This is the end of this section, but not of the whole piece." In hymn context: "only sing the part after this after the last verse; otherwise, go right onto the next verse."

How do you tell the difference?

If the thing after the double bar is just "A-a-a-a-a-men," that's a pretty good sign.

Any questionable rhymes?

Honor/forever is out there, but then we get the brazen author/pleasure!
