If you're using 2.13 you can span a hyphen between the stanza and the
first lyric syllable via a scheme engraver:
\version "2.13.31"
#(define (stanza-lyric-hyphen-engraver ctx)
(let ((hyphen '()))
`((initialize . ,(lambda (trans)
;; if 'stanza is set, make a hyphen before anything
;; else has happened
(and (markup? (ly:context-property ctx 'stanza))
(set! hyphen (ly:engraver-make-grob trans
'LyricHyphen
'())))))
(acknowledgers
(lyric-syllable-interface
. ,(lambda (trans grob source)
;; if a hyphen has been created, set the first
;; syllable acknowledged as its right bound
(and (ly:spanner? hyphen)
(ly:spanner-set-bound! hyphen RIGHT grob))))
(stanza-number-interface
. ,(lambda (trans grob source)
;; if a hyphen has been created, set the stanza
;; as its left bound
(and (ly:spanner? hyphen)
(ly:spanner-set-bound! hyphen LEFT grob)))))
(stop-translation-timestep
. ,(lambda (trans)
;; clear hyphen at end of first timestep
(and hyphen
(set! hyphen '())))))))

\new Voice = melody \relative c' {

\new Lyrics \with {

% make stanza look like a lyric syllable
\override StanzaNumber #'font-size = #1
\override StanzaNumber #'font-series = #'bold-narrow
% tweak stanza position to match lyric spacing

}
\lyricsto melody {
