Hi Helge,

how about:

\version "2.15.39"

sopranoMel = \relative c''  {
        \key d \major
        \clef soprano
        \time 2/4
        r8 e d c |
        % ensure that there's no Break
        \noBreak
        \cadenzaOn
          b \melisma g'~\fermata
          g16[ fis a g]
          fis[ e d c]
          b[ c d c]
          b[ a g fis]
          e8[ c' b  a]
          g16.[ a32] \melismaEnd
          a4\trill
          \bar "|"
        \cadenzaOff
        d,4 r
}

sopranoMelWords = \lyricmode { zu neu -- en Freu  -- den wach. }

\score {
        <<
        \new Staff
          \new Voice = "two" \sopranoMel
          \new Lyrics \lyricsto "two" \sopranoMelWords
        >>
}


HTH,
