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 }
