The song has three (double-)verses, and the underlay is trivially different for the altos in verse one around measure 7, which might be a reason for setting it separately. (Three lines of German might also be difficult for some.) However, the split bass at the end causes no problems at all: just add a new voice for one part, and let the lyrics carry through in the other (ie no change for them), eg: fs1 fs4( gs) gs( fs) cs\breve < fs, cs' >\breve << { \voiceTwo fs\breve ~ fs1 fs } \new Voice { \voiceOne cs'\breve ~ cs1 ds } >> < gs, cs, >\breve (In case you wonder why there are two parts here, and not chords, it is of course because it's \voiceOne cs'\breve cs1( ds) in the original score.)
