yrics on one line with some repeated sections

I've done simple songs OK.  Now I'm struggling to understand how lyrics
relate to voices and staves in a more complex setup: a through-composed song
with several stanzas, some with their own music, but some with repeated
music.   

Example below.

The lyrics for the last section are engraved aligned with the second stanza
for the repeated section.  The lyrics are going to get lower and lower down
if there are more repeated sections.  

I know that I can avoid it by embedding one Voice inside another, as in 

  \new Voice = "main" \relative c' { c d \new Voice = "inner"  \relative c'
{ e f }  g a }

But this seems a bit unnatural compared with the clearer setup in the
example below.  And would get more complicated if there were several
repeated sections.

Using the simple-minded setup below, can I make the stanza 4 lyric align
with stanzas 1 and 2?

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.11.47"
  
FirstLyrics = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "1." hum } 
SecondLyrics= \lyricmode { \set stanza = "2." hey hi }          
ThirdLyrics = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "3." non -- ny }       
FourthLyrics = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "4."  no }  

%%%%%%%%

sectionOneMusic = \relative c'' {  g2 ( aes )}
sectionTwoMusic = \relative c'' { \repeat volta 2 {a2 bes } }
sectionThreeMusic = \relative c'' { c }

\score{ 
         <<
         \new Staff = "upperStaff" {
                 \new Voice = "firstMusic" {\sectionOneMusic }
                 \new Voice = "secondMusic" {\sectionTwoMusic } 
                 \new Voice = "thirdMusic" {\sectionThreeMusic }
       } 
         
                \new Lyrics  \lyricsto firstMusic \FirstLyrics
                \new Lyrics  \lyricsto secondMusic \SecondLyrics
                \new Lyrics  \lyricsto secondMusic \ThirdLyrics
                \new Lyrics  \lyricsto thirdMusic \FourthLyrics 
     >>
 }
