You can use \concat { … }, a construction also useful for
concatenating strings with no space inserted in between.

BTW I wouldn't write
    "liest""blooming rose,"
but
    "liest" "blooming rose,"
instead. (Omitting whitespace between items will eventually trip you up.)

Cheers,
David.
\markup {
  \column {
    \line {  "See, the" \concat { "love" \undertie "liest" } "blooming rose," }
             "   Alleluia!"
             "From the branch of Jesse grows,"
             "   Alleluia!"
        }

}
