It really depends on the hymn. Some are two lines long and others are 8 lines and 10 verses... In older hymnbooks there are hymns that are several pages long. When planning a meeting hymns are usually selected based not only on the theme but also on how much time will need to be filled. Fewer verses can be sung if there isn't much time, and more verses can be sung if there is extra time to fill.
