No, in 'extended' hymn tunes, like Cwm Rhonnda or Sagina, a line of 
lyrics is repeated, but with different music.

The music is written out normally; so are the lyrics.  Where there's a 
line of lyrics repeated,  ://: is literally printed above or between staves.

So it's probaly best done as a markup.
