Something doesn't have to be published to be a first version, as 
written above:

1877/1887 1st ver
1893      2nd ver
1900      published version

I think the 1893 one is called the "church" version,
and 1900 the "orchestra" version.

believe, so anything.

I'm mostly interesed in the vocal and organ part.
