How to reorder lyrics verses in a score.

I have a piece with four verses, written in separate lines below the notes.

Like this:
1. text of verse one
2. text of verse two
3. text of verse three
4. text of verse four

Now I want to take out the first two of the verses and (optionally) reorder the remaining two.

Like this:
4. text of verse four
3. text of verse three

How can I do that without retyping the whole thing and without leaving empty space where the deleted verses were?

Thank you for your help in advance!
