Currently you can use the electrum server with the electrum light wallet. Awesome.
However, I don't know how you can then use the electrum light wallet for your lightning wallet on your node - through LND, without requiring you to input your seed words. If this is possible, are there any docs for how to do so?

Thanks!

AFAIK, the current version of Electrum has a self-contained LND node that would be separate from your myNode LND instance, and it is now enabled by default, but the wallet's LND functionality cannot be redirected towards your myNode LND instance.
Using your myNode LND seed words will not work because LND seeds are derived differently than bitcoin seed words.
I last asked Electrum creator Thomas V. about this in an IRC chat last fall......If it has changed recently, it is a well-kept secret.
