Wide spacing after extremely long syllable |

After an extremely long syllable in the lyrics, the next measure's spacing is
quite wide, even with ragged-right.
In the tiny example below, the problematic measure (of two eighth notes)
comprises the word, "shine".
Before each of its eighth notes, I tried the following commands, but they
didn't shrink the problematic measure:
\once \override Score.SpacingSpanner.average-spacing-wishes = ##t
\once \override Score.SpacingSpanner.common-shortest-duration =
#(ly:make-moment 1/8)
\once \override Score.SpacingSpanner.base-shortest-duration =
#(ly:make-moment 1/8)
\once \override Score.SpacingSpanner.shortest-duration-space = #0.1
\once \override Score.SpacingSpanner.spacing-increment = #1.2
Although the following command shrinks the problematic measure, it also
places the second eighth note completely after the word, "shine"—which looks
bad:
\once \override Score.SpacingSpanner.packed-spacing = ##t
How can I shrink the problematic measure (after the extremely long syllable)
to a more-normal spacing, while still aligning the word, "shine" under both
eighth notes (as normal)?
I prefer to keep the extremely long syllable and the problematic measure
together on the same system (line).
Here's the tiny example:
\version "2.19.37"
\paper {
left-margin = 5\mm
right-margin = 5\mm
ragged-right = ##t
}
\layout {
\context { \Staff
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
}
}
theLyrics = \lyricmode {
\once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
Rest_eternal_grant_unto_them,_O_Lord,_and_let_light_perpetual
shine on
}
notes = \relative c'' {
\time 1/1
a1
\time 2/8
a8[( c]) \break
\time 1/4
a4
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff
\new Voice = "one" \notes
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \theLyrics
>>
}
