Adding Lyrics to a rest in \lyricmode

I'm helping a friend with an instructional booklet for his ukulele music.  I'm using \lyricmode to add note names to the notes in the melody and would like to add the word "rest" on the lyric line when there is a rest in the melody.  However, \lyricmode "ignores" the rest event.

I code the following note sequence in the melody:

     c8 b8 a8 b8 c4 a4 | b4 b4 b4 r4

and I code the following for \lyricmode:

     C  B  A  B  C A    B B B

How can I get the word "Rest" to print under r4 on the same line as the note names on the lyric line?

Thanks,

Keith Luke
