I agree with Phil Daley that more than 4 becomes hard to read, even though some currently published hymnals have up to 6 verses. But I would also hasten to add that printing any remaining verses on a different page can also be problematic -- especially when some foolish editor isn't really a musician and will never be performing from his/her own edition and they put the extra verses overleaf so it's not even possible to see the music anymore. If you print extra verses separately, please be sure that they are on a page facing the original music. In my opinion and preference. -- David H.
