Having trouble with lyrics on an unmetered chant tone

Hullo. I am using lilypond for the first time, & am finding it to be a delight. I have successfully set a few of the Resurrectional Apolytikia (or Troparia) in Tones 1-4 using a variety of Russian-based chants in 2 voices. Now, I am working on Tone V in the Kievan Chant. I am finding that when I use a syll -- a -- ble that lilypond does not always give me the hyphen I ask for. attached is my current 'code' (for lack of a better word for it) for the Tone V. I wish to get a hyphen in the words ``glorious'' & ``Resurrection'' at the places where there is currently an underscore [except in the last syllable of Resurrection where I have the slur indicated]. Any help would be appreciated.
