I have a hymn which has 8 measures which are alltogether repeated.
The last two measures are different between the repetitions.
The text, however, is totally different between the two repitition.

I have not found an example for this. Please give me some hints to set
the hymn.

I think you might get a complaint about not having a "tiny example" or source file to show how far you've gotten (or at least a picture or something), but I wonder if you have seen this section: 

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/techniques-specific-to-lyrics#lyrics-and-repeats

Seems like the subsection "Repeats with alternative endings" might point you in the right direction.
