Markup-command \tied-lyric helps:
soprano = \relative c'' { c1 b4 a g2 }
verse-rev = \lyricmode {
\once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
\markup \override #'(baseline-skip . 2.4) %% adjust to taste
\concat {
"Not unto us, "
\tied-lyric "~O "
\general-align #Y #DOWN
\center-column { \musicglyph #"scripts.ulongfermata" Lord }
\tied-lyric ", ~not unto us, // but unto thý "
\general-align #Y #DOWN
\center-column { \musicglyph #"scripts.ulongfermata" Name }
}
give the praise;
}
\score {
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff << \new Voice = "soprano" { \voiceOne \soprano } >>
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "soprano" \verse-rev
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Lyrics
%% adjust to taste
\override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.padding = #1
}
}
}
