Tu sul labbro de' veggenti, Zaccaria's aria from Nabucco

Vieni, o Levita! ... Il santo
Codice reca! Di novel portento
Me vuol ministro Iddio!...Me servo manda,
Per gloria d'Israele,
Le tenebre a squarciar d'un'infedele.

Tu sul labbro de' veggenti
Fulminasti, o sommo Iddio!
All'Assiria in forti accenti
Parla or tu col labbro mio!
E di canti a te sacrati
Ogni tempio suonerà;
Sovra gl'idoli spezzati
La tua Legge sorgerà.
