I think another reason for hymns/songs being abbreviated is that we live in a culture filled with people with very short attention spans. Our preoccupation with TV and "fast food" pop culture make people lose interest in anything that requires more than 3 minutes to accomplish! Tim:

There was a church I frequented when I was a teen which had a "3rd Verse Sunday" where they would sing verses they typically left out. My question always was, "Why leave them out to begin with?"
