So, we've recently seen a hymn where the verses could be sung by a leader, call-and-response style, or alternatively, by everyone. Well, this hymn doesn't want to give you the option, because the printed music is just the refrain. Then at the bottom of the page, text-only (the way they sometimes print overflow verses if there are too many to fit otherwise), are verses for the leader. Except, those don't really seem to fit the same rhyme or meter scheme, so they're probably not to the same melody. So the leader has to sing them alone, because the rest of the congregation doesn't know the melody! (In which case, why even print the lyrics in this edition, since we're not going to sing them? Compare "Veni Sancte Spiritus.")

...This probably needs its own tag.
