You could use the amsmath package, which provides an aligned environment:

\begin{equation}
  \begin{aligned}
    \Sigma &= a + b + c + d\\
           & + e + f + g + h\\
           & + i + j + k + l
  \end{aligned}
\end{equation}

In the same package there's also gathered which doesn't use the & sign for alignment -- depending on your equation this may be of more use to you. – Ant Aug 2 '11 at 9:55

And split is preferred to aligned. – Leo Liu Aug 2 '11 at 14:35
As a I say diagram (an xymatrix), it is a one-line object occupied many lines. I want the tag is in the center line and the ","(as suggested) is in the last line. – Ma Ming Nov 29 '11 at 22:42
