Problem with complete lack of spacing between stanzas |

I am working with Lilypond 2.13.8 and have run into the problem that the
default spacing between stanzas of lyrics is unacceptably small (it has
ascenders and descenders of different lines crashing into each other). I've
searched the documentation and the web to find solutions and have found a
number of instances where people have described this problem and offered
solutions, either globally in the Lyrics context or for specific stanzas
(preferable in this case), but none of them seems to have any impact on my
file. They don't return errors, they just fail to do *anything* at all and the
stanzas stay stubbornly stuck together and ugly.
I include an abbreviated version of my file below (four stanzas are deleted for
the sake of brevity).
I would appreciate any working suggestions for how to control these spacing
issues on a per stanza basis.
Best,
