These songs are organizaed by the rituals they were used in and have been grouped together with the ritual song sheet.  They also can be found listed individually (and alphbetically) in the "Song" section on the tab bar at the top of the page.   If the text is highlighted in blue, there is a link to either the lyrics or to a You Tube rendition of the song.  Not all of the songs are available in You Tube. Sometimes they've put an ad before the song.  Oh well...

I found the following words to the song "Lord of the Dance" in our Candlemas binder. It was used in a ritual as part of a spiral dance, I believe, within an article by internorth.com (a website that I couldn't find). The song's actual lyrics are much more extensive and incorporate a dance theme with stories from the Bible.  The author of this excerpt has changed the lyrics  to suit a Candlemas ritual with a Goddess emphasis. This link will take you to the complete song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEAIJV6CmtA. 
Lord of the Dance 
(Click on the title for the link to the full text)

She danced on the water, and the wind was Her horn
The sweet Lady laughed, and everything was born
And when She lit the Sun and its light gave Him birth
The Lord of the Dance first appeared on the Earth.
