So, you'd like to type three parts in sequence,
and add a lyrics to every part (second one should have two lines)?

Am i right?

If so, you can type two voices (of melody), first one for the first
and third part,
and second for the second part. And two lines of lyrics for the second part.

Like this, should work:

melody = \relative c'' {
       g a b c
       \new Voice = "second" {
               b a g f
       }
       e d c c
}


mainfirst = \lyricmode {
       \set stanza = "1. "
       c d e f
}
mainsecond = \lyricmode {
       \set stanza = "4. "
       g a b c
}
upperwords = \lyricmode {
       \set stanza = "2. "
       u u u u
}
lowerwords = \lyricmode {
       \set stanza = "3. "
       l l l l
}

\score {
   \new Staff = "tenor" <<
       \new Voice = "tenvoice" {
           \melody
       }
       \new Lyrics = tenlyr \lyricsto tenvoice
               { \mainfirst \mainsecond }
       % \context Lyrics = tenlyr \lyricsto tenvoice \mainsecond
       \new Lyrics = tenlyrup \with {
            alignAboveContext = tenlyr
       } \lyricsto second \upperwords
       \new Lyrics = tenlyrlo \with {
            alignBelowContext = tenlyr
       } \lyricsto second \lowerwords
      >>
  }
