but the LyricHyphen between those two words isn't printed if the
syllables are close.

You can force a LyricHyphen to appear:

%%%%
forceHyphen = \lyricmode {
  \once \override LyricHyphen.minimum-distance = #1.5
}

music = \fixed c' {
  \key f \major \time 3/4
  a2 4 | a4( g) a | c'4( bes) a | a4 g r
}

{ \music } \addlyrics {
  And the white -- robed mar -- tyrs fol -- low,
}
{ \music } \addlyrics {
  And the \forceHyphen white -- robed mar -- tyrs fol -- low,
}
%%%%

Note that since the -- must appear directly after the text, you will need to apply this override before the text.
