Hi!

The easiest way would be to use \usepackage (only if the font is
available as it).
What's the name of the OTF font you use for lyric text?

A list of font available as \uspackage can be found at
http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/ .
If you use LilyPond's default font for lyrics, then you should use the
New Century Schoolbook package, but I would rather suggest you to use
TEX Gyre Schola instead, since it is an enhanced version of it.

  \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
  \usepackage{tgschola}
