There are different ways in LilyPond to adjust fonts. In your case, you 
might want something like:

%%%%%%%%%%
\score {
  <<
    { c c c c }
    \addlyrics { this is the text }
  >>
  \layout {
    \context {
      \Lyrics
      \override LyricText.font-name = "EB Garamond"
    }
  }
}
%%%%%%%%%%

Just change "EB Garamond" to the name of the font you need; if it is 
installed on the system, Lily should find it.

Else you can change fonts globally by something like:

%%%%%%%
\paper {
  fonts = #(make-pango-font-tree
            "EB Garamond" ; ‘roman’ or ‘serif’ font, used by default 
for Lyrics
            "Alegreya Sans" ; ‘sans-serif’ font
            "Ubuntu Mono" ; ‘monospaced’ font
            (/ (* staff-height pt) 2.5))
}
%%%%%%%
