Vertically centering lyrics between two staves?

It is going on 8 years now I've been typesetting hymns in Lilypond, and one thing is still very irritating. For many hymns, you have 3 or 4 verses. And you have a refrain/chorus. It is standard hymn practice to vertically center the chorus between two staves. Yes, it is easy to add the chorus

Thank you Carl. Interesting example. For the hymns I do, that might work for the first couple bars, but then I'll have to predict where the linebreak will be and revert it at that point. I'm using a template system to auto-generate the lilypond code, so having to insert a counter-acting command
