~ is for combining two syllables to be put under one note. It inserts a bow between the syllables to indicate that. Example from the lilypond manual: Che~in ques -- ta~e~in quel -- l'al -- tr'on -- da _ inserts a melisma, i.e. the opposite. Entering a _ in the lyrics stretches the syllable before the _ over the next note as well. Please note that certain elements on the notes also insert melismata, e.g. slurs or manual beams (the latter only if automatic beaming is turned off). In these cases, underscores are not necessary. -- inserts a hyphen to indicate that two syllables belong to the same word. __ inserts a line indicating that a syllable is sung over multiple notes. This is for melismata on the last syllable of a word (or words with only one syllable). The whole syntax is documented in the lilypond manual under http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-vocal-music#multiple-syllables-to-one-note and the following subsections.
