Peter,
I like Trevor's suggestions. I'd also recommend the following:
1. In the first verse lyrics, change " " to "" (i.e., remove the space).
This makes One line up better with the notehead. You can also do "\skip 4"
instead. For some reason, in 2.18.2, using " " creates a manual melisma,
which is not what you want in the first verse, I think.
2. Add "\once \tiny" to the note that is only used in the second verse (for
clarity):
<<
{ \once \tiny \once \voiceTwo f }
...
>>
