Your code fragment: echo $text | $text1 is piping the output from echo $text into the command specified by $text1. From your description, that doesn't seem to be what you want to do. If you had shown us how lmsg had been initialized and had shown us the diagnostics produced when you tried to run your code, this might have been more obvious.
The code gull04 suggested will concatenate the text from both variables onto a single line of output. If you want to print the contents of your two variables on separate lines, you need to put a <newline> character between the output from formatting each of your two variables. One portable way to do that would be to replace the code fragment above with:
If $text and/or $text1 expand to multiple lines that you're trying to flatten or contain sequences of multiple spaces that you're trying to convert to single spaces or contain tabs that you want to convert to spaces (and that is why you didn't quote them), then replace the code fragment shown above with:

It looks like if matching and deleting the last line confuses 'sed' so it does not recognize '$' address. Consider:
sed -e '/^3/d' -e '$ a text'
