Use instrumentName and shortInstrumentName?

\new Staff { \repeat unfold 80 c''4 }
\new Lyrics
\with { instrumentName = "1." shortInstrumentName = "1." }
\lyricmode { \repeat unfold 80 foo4 }
\new Lyrics
\with { instrumentName = "2." shortInstrumentName = "2." }
\lyricmode { \repeat unfold 80 bar }
