adding lyrics in poetry format? (old style hymn books)

[Ted Walther]

In old style hymn books the lyrics are printed in the form of a poem
underneath the piano score.  I would like to do this in lilypond.  Is
there a way, or do I have to use lilypond-book?  If I have to use
lilypond-book, is there an example of how to do this?

Here is an example of what I mean, taken from the 1904 edition of the
Methodist Hymn Book.

The last pic is the one you want; the first three establish the printing
and copyright date of the book as 1904.
