Searched the manual and LSR to no avail. I'm using words for stanza
numbers and they end up on top of the barline. I want to space over
the first note in the measure to give some extra room but don't know
how. Is there something equivalent to /hspace I can use in the voice
context to just add extra empty space before a note?
You can modify the amount of horizontal space the barline uses. eg:

\version "2.13.33"

barspace = #(define-music-function (parser location extent) (pair?) #{
    \once \override Staff.BarLine #'extra-spacing-width = #$extent
#})

\relative c'' {
    \repeat unfold 2 { c4 c c c }
    \barspace #'(0 . 3)
    c c c c
    \barspace #'(-3 . 5)
    c c c c
}
