Or:

\language "english"

\score {
   <<
     \new Staff {
       c'2^\< a2 c'2^\mf^\> <<f'2 { s4 s4^\p }>>
       c'2^\< a2 c'2^\mf^\> <<f'2 { s4 s4^\p }>>
     }
     \new Staff {
       a2^\< f2 a2^\mf^\> c'4( bf) ^\p
       a2^\< f2 a2^\mf^\> c'4( bf)^\p
     }
     \addlyrics {
       Al -- le -- lu -- ia
       Al -- le -- lu -- ia
     }
   >>
}
