I have a hymn which has 8 measures which are alltogether repeated.
The last two measures are different between the repetitions.
The text, however, is totally different between the two repitition.

I have not found an example for this. Please give me some hints to set
the hymn.

I think you might get a complaint about not having a "tiny example" or source file to show how far you've gotten (or at least a picture or something), but I wonder if you have seen this section: 

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/techniques-specific-to-lyrics#lyrics-and-repeats

Seems like the subsection "Repeats with alternative endings" might point you in the right direction.

HTH,

I have seen the appropiate page in the German manual, the following does not work, error unexpected alternative:

[SNIP]

 

mehrstimmigText = \lyricmode {
  \repeat volta 2 {
  \alternative {
    {  Gut, dass wir ein -- an -- der ha -- ben, gut, dass wir ein -- an -- der sehn,
    Sor -- gen, Freu -- den, Krä -- fte tei -- len und auf einem We -- ge gehn. }
    { Gut,  dass wir nicht uns nur ha -- ben, dass der Kreis sich nie -- mals schließt,
    und dass Gott, von dem wir re -- den, hier in uns -- rer Mit -- te ist. }
  }
  } 
}

[SNIP]

That's because you didn't put anything in the \repeat volta 2 { ... } section prior to starting the \alternative { { ... } { ... } } section.

Best,
Abraham
