I would have preferred something less "hack" but to have your 2 first
markups on the same line (and the first markup not overlapping the first
measure), the following code gives good result with 2.13.46.

soprano = \relative c'' {
  \global
  % Music follows here.
  \override Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn #'padding = #4
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
  \mark \markup { \italic \small "P: The blessing of the Lord ..." }
  f,2 f1 \finalis

  \newSpacingSection
  \revert Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn #'padding
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'padding = #2.4
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
  \mark \markup { \italic \small "P: Glory to Thee, O Christ God ..." }
  f4 f f g a a a a a a a a a a a a a \divisioMinima
  a4 a a a a a a a a g a2 a4 a a2 \divisioMaior
  f4 g a a a a a a a g a2 a1 \divisioMaxima
  bf2 a4(g) f1 \finalis
}


Cheers,
Xavier
