The examples in 
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/learning/vocal-ensembles should 
help.

You need to either 

a) place the Lyrics contexts between the Staff contexts and add a \context 
block at the end to contain the \lyricsto, or

b) name the top Staff and add \with { alignBelowContext ... } to the Lyrics 
contexts.

Both of these are shown in the example templates.
