\version "2.19.83"

\markup \fill-line {
  \center-column \override #'(line-width . 50) \wordwrap-lines
  { Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer
    volutpat tincidunt libero, a malesuada sapien scelerisque sed.
    Phasellus sed placerat est. Mauris fringilla dignissim nulla.
    Cras vitae elit a tellus egestas aliquam. }
}
%%%%

While \center-column will take care of aligning the individual markups 
from \wordwrap-lines, it is the use of \fill-line that will ensure the 
overall markup is centered on the page.
