What about a markup block?
\markup {
\column {
\line { \null }
\line { 2. Be Thou my wisdom and Thou my true word }
\line { \hspace #2 I ever with Thee, Thou with me, Lord }
\line { \hspace #2 Thou my great Father and I Thy true sonÍž }
\line { \hspace #2 Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. }
\line { \null }
\line { 3. Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise }
\line { \hspace #2 Thou mine inheritance now and always }
\line { \hspace #2 Thou and Thou only, first in my heart }
\line { \hspace #2 High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art. }
\line { \null }
\line { 4. High King of heaven, thy victory one, }
\line { \hspace #2 May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's Sun! }
\line { \hspace #2 Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, }
\line { \hspace #2 Still be my vision O Ruler of all. }
}
}
