Instead of explicitly making each verse of lyrics in parallel (with the << … >> structure inside the \staff block), preceded the \staff block with consecutive \addlyrics blocks.

Inter-syllable hyphenation should be written with two dashes: --. These will be visible when the horizontal spacing allows, but disappear when the syllable are close together.

A single underscore _ can be used to skip a note for a melisma. Extender lines are typed with two underscores __.
