Comments:

Everything on a line after a percentage sign (%) is a comment. That means it doesn't do anything.
There is a lot of commented out code - uncommenting it will do different things to your music.

First of all, type out your lyrics
- i.e. the first verse would be at the end of the section that starts with sopWords = \lyricmode
There are two things to uncomment, for each verse/stanza:
- %\context Lyrics = sopranos \lyricsto sopranos \sopWords
- %\new Lyrics = sopranos { s1 }
