Step 2

Next, you need to modify a copy of the XSL stylesheet you are using. It depends upon how your XSL file is constructed. For example:

<!--Open / Close song-->
<xsl:template match="SongOpen|SongEnd">
<td class="textItemWithPadding">
 <xsl:value-of select="//Labels/Song"/>
 <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
 <xsl:value-of select="."/>
 <xsl:text> - </xsl:text>
 <xsl:value-of select="@Title"/>
 <xsl:variable name="ScripturesForSongs" select="document('ScripturesForSongs.xml')"/>
 <xsl:variable name="SongNumber" select="."/>
 &#160;
 <xsl:value-of select="$ScripturesForSongs/ScripturesForSongs/Song[@Number=$SongNumber]"/>
</td>
</xsl:template>

<!--Middle song-->
<xsl:template match="SongMiddle">
<tr>
 <td class="textItemWithPadding">
 <xsl:value-of select="//Labels/Song"/>
 <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
 <xsl:value-of select="."/>
 <xsl:text> - </xsl:text>
 <xsl:value-of select="@Title"/>
 <xsl:variable name="ScripturesForSongs" select="document('ScripturesForSongs.xml')"/>
 <xsl:variable name="SongNumber" select="."/>
 &#160;
 <xsl:value-of select="$ScripturesForSongs/ScripturesForSongs/Song[@Number=$SongNumber]"/>
 </td>
 <td class="textTime">
 <xsl:value-of select="@EndTime12"/>
 </td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>

The above conveys the principles but you will have to adapt it to match the way your XSL style sheet is working.
