Collect One
O God, 
who by the leading of a star 
didst manifest thy only-begotten Son to the Gentiles; 
Mercifully grant, that we, which know thee now by faith, 
may after this life have the fruition of thy glorious Godhead; 
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Collect Two
O God, 
who by the leading of a star 
manifested your only Son to the peoples of the earth: 
Mercifully grant that we, who know you now by faith, 
may at last behold your glory face to face; 
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Post Communion Prayer
Lord God, 
the bright splendour whom the nations seek: 
May we, who with the wise men 
have been drawn by your light, 
discern the glory of your presence in your incarnate Son; 
who suffered, died, and was buried, 
and who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, 
now and for ever.
