by Andrea Leone Tottola (d. 1831)

Preghiera
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
MOSÈ
Dal tuo stellato soglio,    
signor, ti volgi a noi:
pietà de' figli tuoi,
del popol tuo pietà!

DONNE E AMENOFI
Pietà de' figli tuoi.

UOMINI
Del popol tuo pietà!

ARONNE
Se pronti al tuo potere
sono elementi, e sfere,
tu amico scampo addita
al dubbio, errante piè!

DONNE E AMENOFI
Pietoso dio, ne aita.

UOMINI
Noi non viviam, che in te.

ELCÌA
La destra tua clemente
scenda sul cor dolente,
e farmaco soave
gli sia di pace almen.

DONNE E UOMINI
Il cor, che in noi già pave,
deh tu conforta appien.

TUTTI
Dal tuo stellato soglio,
signor, ti volgi a noi:
pietà de' figli tuoi,
del popol tuo pietà!
