lyric placement

I'm just starting to play with lp by working on a hymn.  The format  is upper 
and lower piano staves with the verses in the middle.  I was using chords for 
the upper and lower until I came to a place where I had two 8th notes in the 
soprano over a 1/4 in the alto.  I don't know if it's the best way, but I 
found a way to do it.  The problem is that I can't get a lyric to print under 
those notes.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
