Father in heaven, by whose grace the virgin mother of thine incarnate Son was blessed in bearing him, but still more blessed in keeping thy word: Grant us who honor the exaltation of her lowliness to follow the example of her devotion to thy will; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
The Visitation by William Wailes, 1857 in Ely Cathedral, and in a 19c panel at Eynesbury, Cambs, also perhaps by William Wailes.
