In towers of Marienbourg the bells are ringing;

Now from the hall of council to the chapel

Comes the chief Komtur, then the chiefest rulers,

The chaplain, brothers, and assembled knights.

The chapter listen vesper orisons,

And sing a hymn unto the Holy Spirit

Hymn.

Spirit! Thou Holy One,

Thou Dove of Sion’s Hill!

This Christian world, the footstool of Thy throne,
