Polyphony and multiple voice contexts

I've only been working with Lilypond for a couple months, but I haven't been able to figure this out by the manual. I'm using version 2.6.4-5 for Windows.

I use Lilypond for engraving congregational hymns. Almost all the songs are in 4-parts, and have the 3 verses followed by a single chorus. All the lyrics should appear between the staves. I want the flags on the staff to face opposite directions (soprano and tenor up, alto and bass down). I've seen the SATB score example, but I also want to separate the VERSE music and lyrics from the CHORUS
music and lyrics.

The following solution almost works, but no lyrics appear. (full .ly source is available at http://36thstchurchofchrist.com/documents/bindhands.ly ) Can someone please point
out the error(s)?

\score {
       \context ChoirStaff <<
           \context Staff = women {
           \context Voice = verses <<
               { << \global \globaltwo \sopMusic >> } \\
               { << \globaltwo \altoMusic >> }
           >>
           \context Voice = chorusW <<
               { << \globaltwo \sopChorusMusic >> } \\
               { << \globaltwo \altoChorusMusic >> }
           >>
       }

          \context Lyrics = lineone { s1 }
          \context Lyrics = linetwo { s1 }
          \context Lyrics = linethree { s1 }

           \context Staff = men {
           \clef bass
           <<
               { << \global \globaltwo \tenorMusic >> } \\
               { << \globaltwo \bassMusic >> }
           >>
           <<
               { << \globaltwo \tenorChorusMusic >> } \\
               { << \globaltwo \bassChorusMusic >> }
           >>
       }

\context Lyrics = lineone \lyricsto verses \verseonewords
\context Lyrics = linetwo \lyricsto verses \versetwowords
\context Lyrics = linethree \lyricsto verses \versethreewords
\context Lyrics = lineone \lyricsto chorusW \choruswomen
>>
}
