working for me. I'm sure I've just got the wrong context somewhere.  

Can someone point me to the right way?

\context Lyrics \with {

   \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(0 . 0)

   }

… or play around with those numbers!

i am not quite certain about where - in which context(s) - you have to place

it to make it effective in every stanza

VerticalAxisGroup, as far as I understand it, moves the staves closer together, and with it, the lyrics closer to the staves. I want to move the lines of words closer to one another, effectively bringing the baselines up so that the four stanzas are closer to one another.
