using the idea from the tin whistle fingering discussion, i was able to come up
with something that i think will work well:

\paper {
  #(define dump-extents #t)
  
  indent = 0\mm
  line-width = 180\mm - 2.0 * 0.4\in
}

\layout {

}

\version "2.8.7"
\header {
title = "The Ninety and Nine"
composer = "Ira D. Sankey (1874)"
poet = "Elizabeth C. Clephane (1868)"
}
melody = \relative c' {
   \clef treble
   \key g \major
   \time 6/8

Verse 2.

“Lord, Thou hast here Thy ninety and nine;

Are they not enough for Thee?”

But the Shepherd made answer: “This of Mine

Has wandered away from Me;

And although the road be rough and steep,

I go to the desert to find My sheep,

I go to the desert to find My sheep.”"
