The presentation of Christ in the
temple, commonly called the Purification of Saint Mary the Virgin
Psalm 134
Ecce nunc
BEHOLD now, praise the Lord :
all ye servants of the Lord;
2. Ye that by night stand in
the house of the Lord : even in the courts of the house of our God.
3. Lift up your hands in the
sanctuary : and praise the Lord.
4. The Lord that made heaven
and earth : give thee blessing out of Sion.
The Collect
Almighty and everliving God, we humbly beseech thy Majesty, that, as
thy only-begotten Son was this day presented in the temple in substance of our
flesh, so we may be presented unto thee with pure and clean hearts, by the same
thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
