ditto.

Alternatively, you can use   \set associatedVoice   to switch voices, or
yet again, a NullVoice, which is somewhat similar to the suggestion below.
These have the advantage of not affecting any MIDI you might require.

If you have no reason to stick with 2.18.2, you can \addlyrics to
the staff, ie both voices. I've commandeered the revised version
to illustrate. The words needed some syllables added, as there has
to be a one for each and every moment (a note in either part).
Otherwise, just the upper part of the ChoirStaff needed modification.

Thanks, Lukas-Fabian, for the work you put in.

Cheers,
David.
