Sarah,
Okay, now I understand. I think the convention is to stack
the verses above/below the staff and parenthetically
highlight the places where the words will vary from the
musical phrasing.
Setting up a second voice just in those areas will give the
singer the correct phrasing in those parenthetical places.
Best I can suggest.
Dave

Actually the soprano voice will remain the same through out
all for verses.
he second soprano and first and second alto will have
different notes for
each verse of lyrics. Example "shepherds why with jubilee?"
at the beginning
of verse 2 will start and end differently then verse 4 "See
him in the
manger lay." Is that really clear or Is that as clear as
mud? *grins*
