Thanks Simon,
I'm not sure how your suggestion would mesh with the piece's overall structure;
Here's a more complete take:
http://lilybin.com/l8kuff/2
(I tried to trim extra stuff for a minimal example).
A completed version is here
http://imslp.nl/imglnks/usimg/d/db/IMSLP04156-Bach_-_BGA_439-518.pdf
it's number 16 (page 8).
The A section is repeated with different lyrics, this is followed by
a few more, non-repeated, phrases.
I thought that it would be sensible and useful to have separate
variables for the full melody, the full lyrics, bass, and figures.
I like this because it keeps the commands within the score block
relatively simple, and thus allows me to easily turn off the lyrics (for
example)
by just commenting out a single line.
This gets to something that is not (to my knowledge) well documented: what
is a good way of organizing and structuring the lilypond content?
Dave

You don’t use \lyricsto when you create the second Lyrics context, hence
the problem.
Structurally it would be much clearer if you did something like
%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.18.2"
global = {
\key f \major
\time 3/4
}
melody = {
\repeat volta 2 \relative c'' {
% A section
a4 f g |
a4 (b) c |
c2 b4 |
c2.\fermata |
a4 bes a |
g2 f4 |
a2 (g4) |
f2.
} \break
}
textA = \lyricmode {
% First A section
Er -- mun -- tre dich, mein schwa -- cher Geist,
und tra -- ge gross Ver -- lan -- gen,
}
textB = \lyricmode {
% Second A section
ein klei -- nes Kind, das Va -- ter heißt,
mit Freu -- den zu em -- pfan -- gen.
}
\score {
\context PianoStaff <<
\new Staff = "upper" { \clef treble \global \new Voice = "melody"
\melody}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" \textA
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" \textB
>>
}
