The Magnificat is sung during the Sunday [[Orthros]] service following the eighth ode of the [[Canon (hymn)|canon]], and, with the ''Song of Zachariah'', makes up the ninth ode of the canon.
The megalynarion (the refrain above) also appears as part of the hymn "It is truly meet" (''Axion estin'') which is sung during [[Divine Liturgy]] during the [[Eucharist]]ic Prayer as the [[priest]] commemorates the [[saint]]s.
