Is this because you have multiple verses in your hymn scores? If so, unfortunately there's not much you can do without a lot of messing about. This is down to the way Photoscore handles lyrics, rather than a Sibelius problem. PS will lump all scanned lyrics into one lyrics line, as it has no concept of Lyrics line 1, line 2 etc that Sibelius has.
There is a plugin that attempts to separate multiple verses from Photoscore scans, called Extract Verses from PhotoScore Generated Score (under Text > Plugins) that generates lines for each verse that you can copy and paste into Lyrics line 1 etc. that you create, or a text editor for 'further refinement'. You can then add them into the appropriate lyric line via 'From Text file'. I haven't used it myself, and it may not save much/any time in the long run, but it might be worth a try.
There's another plugin called Fix Photoscore Lyrics, which is think was for use on a single lyrics line, but apparently that hasn't worked since Sibelius 6.
