The problem is that the double backslash automagically creates _two_ new
voices; you only want one, with the other being a continuation of the original
voice. The solution is to create the new voice explicitly:
{
<c' a>4 <e' c'> <g' e'> <b' g'> << {\voiceOne b'1 } \new Voice {
\voiceTwo g'4( f' e'2) } >>
}
\addlyrics {
Ex -- cel -- lent Thy name! % The last word does now appear
}
(The \voiceOne and \voiceTwo don't affect the lyrics, only the note stems.)

In that case, personally, I'd write it as four parts rather than as chords.
Best wishes,
