Arouse we now to chant our prayer
For fair return of service fair
And Argos' kindly will.
Zeus, lord of guestright, look upon

The grace our stranger lips have won.
In right and truth, as they begun,
Guide them, with favouring hand, until
Thou dost their blameless wish fulfil!

Auf, laßt uns Argos' Volke das Heil
Anwünschen, wie Heil uns wurde von ihm!
Zeus, gastlicher Gott, o vernimm das Gebet
Aus gastlichem Mund, und geleit' es in Huld
Zu dem herrlichsten Ziel der Vollendung!
