The bracket has to be in quotes

Ok, here are the first line of the fist verse

stanzaOneOne = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "1. {" Child, you're mine and I love you. Lend thine ear to what I say. stanzaOneTwo = \lyricmode { \set stanza = " " Child, I have no great -- er joy Than to have you walk in truth.

I tried it like this

stanzaOneOne = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "1. \markup{ "{"} "} Child, you're mine and I love you. Lend thine ear to what I say. Wichi doesn't do what it looks like it will do. 1. \markup{ becomes the name of the verse and {"} "} ocupies the first 2 notes. I can just do \set stanza = "1. {" except that I need to make the { double height and move down to be in front of two llines
