HI David,

> section?

Here's a hint:

\version "2.10.0"

\header {
  title = "Friendship (8-7 8-7 8-8-8-7)"
  piece = "Early American"
  composer = "G. Cook"
}

#(set-default-paper-size "letter" 'portrait)

stanzaOneA = \lyricmode {
  \set stanza = "1."
  Friend- ship, to ev'- ry will- ing mind,
  O- pens a heav'n- ly trea- sure,
  There may the sons of sor- row find
  Sour- ces of last- ing plea- sure.
  See what em- ploy- ments men pur- sue,
  Then you will own my words are true,
  Friend- ship a- lone pre- sents to view
  Sour- ces of last- ing plea- sure.
}
stanzaOneB = \lyricmode {
  There may the sons of sor- row find
  Sour- ces of last- ing plea- sure.
}

sopranoMusic = \relative c'' {
  \sacredHarpHeads
  \set shapeNoteStyles = ##(fa #f la fa #f la mi)
  \clef treble
  \key g \major
  \autoBeamOff
  \time 4/4
  \repeat "volta" 1 {
    g4 g8 e8 d4 d4 |
    g4 e'4 d2 |
    d8[ c8] b8 a8 g4 e4 |
    a2 g2 |
  }
  g4 g8 e8 d4 d4 |
  g4 e'4 d2 |
  d8[ c8] b8 a8 g4 e4 |
  a2 g2 b4 b8 b8 c4 a4 |
  b4 c8[ d8] e2 |
  g,4 b8 g8 a4 g4 |
  e'4 e4 d2 g,4 g8 e8 d4 d4 |
  g4 e'4 d2 |
  d8[ c8] b8 a8 g4 e4 |
  a2 g2
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Voice = "one" \sopranoMusic
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \stanzaOneA
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \stanzaOneB
  >>

  \layout { indent = 0 \cm firstpagenumber = no papersize = a4 }
}

You should really read the docs about vocal music — you are not coding the 
hyphens correctly, etc.

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
