No idea. I'm afraid you'll ned to try it out.

Probably:

#(ly:set-option 'relative-includes #t)
\version "2.19.53"
\language "english"

global = { \key g \major }

music = {
    a'4 g'2
    \once \override NoteColumn.X-offset = 30
    g'4 g' f-sharp' e' g' \bar "|"
    \once \override NoteColumn.X-offset = 3.5
    g' f-sharp'( g') e' f-sharp' g' \bar ":|."
}

words = \lyricmode {
    \set stanza = \markup "℣."
    \once \override LyricExtender.minimum-length = 40
    "." __ _ we pray to the Lord.
    \set stanza = \markup "℟." O Lord, hear our paryer.
}

\new Staff
<<
    \new Voice = "mel" { \global \music }
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "mel" { \words }
>>
