I've been trying to totally get rid of the space where a lyric hyphen might
go, in cases where that space is already very small, but I have not been
able to figure it out.

I have noticed that if I add the lines

> \override LyricHyphen.minimum-length = #0

\override LyricHyphen.padding = #0

in the Lyrics context, then the spacing between the lyrics stays the same,
but it is more clear where the spaces are that I don't want because they
show as just little black dots.

Is there a way to get rid of these spaces instead of having them still
present as empty space?  I want the syllables to be as close to each other
as if they were a single syllable.

Thanks,

Here is (a shortened version of) my code:

\include "gregorian.ly"

  antiphonText = \lyricmode {
    Draw near, Lord, Ho -- ly Fa -- ther,
al -- might -- y and e -- ter -- nal God,
au -- thor of hu -- man dig -- ni -- ty and be -- stow -- er of all grac --
es,
through whom all things pro -- gress,
through whom eve -- ry -- thing is made firm,
who, by the pow -- er of the Ho -- ly Spir -- it,
in or -- der to form a priest -- ly peo -- ple,
es -- tab -- lish a -- mong them min -- is -- ters of Christ your Son in
var -- i -- ous or -- ders.

  }
