Thanks for your comments. \addlyrics works now.. I've to take a better 
look at \lyricsto. This is it now:

\version "2.11.53"

melody =
<<
        \relative c' {
   \clef treble
   \key c \major
   \time 4/4
   \partial 2
   \autoBeamOn
  
   r4 g8 a | c c d a  c c d e | f f f e | e d d4  | e8  e f e | e d e  d c2
    }
    \addlyrics {When I find my -self in times of trou -ble,
   Mo -ther Ma -ry comes  to me,
   Spea -king words of wish -dom let it be
    }
 >>
  
  
harmony = \chordmode { r2 c2 g
   a:min f4:maj7 f4:6
   c2 g f8:maj7 f:6 c2
}

\score {
   <<
  
   \new ChordNames {
       \set chordChanges = ##t
   \harmony}
      
   \new Staff {\melody
}
>>
}


\layout { }
\midi { }
