The vertical line at the right end of the volta bracket is inserted only for a 
repeat 
sign or a final bar line.  Otherwise it is omitted to indicate the music 
carries on
beyond the end of the volta bracket.  Should you not have an 'end-repeat here 
to signal returning for verses 3 and 5?  Then it will have a vertical line.
