Irmos: Establish us in thee, O Lord Who hast slain sin by the Tree, and plant the fear of Thee in the hearts of us who hymn Thee.
Sessional hymn, in Tone IV: Spec. Mel.: “Go thou quickly…” —
Let us praise the sacred Sampson; for, emulating the compassion of God, he was merciful to the needy, providing vesture to all the naked.
Theotokion: Drive away the darkness of my mind and soul, O pure one, and grant that I may live to see the promised day, observing the precepts of salvation.
Having led the godly life in a holy and pious manner, thou hast been numbered among the saints and hast attained unto the mansions of the venerable, counted worthy of ineffable illumination.
Glory…, Now & ever…: Theotokion —
Blessed art thou, and well will it be with thee, who didst keep the divine laws of our Lord and God, O father. Him do thou beseech, that thy flock be saved.
Shining forth in spirit like a brilliant beacon, O most blessed Sampson, thou dost illumine us with honor in thy habitation; thus, O father, thou dost dispense the healing given thee by God to those with divers ailments. Wherefore, by thine entreaties deliver us from the passions.
By thy divine birthgiving, O pure one, thou hast made new our mortal nature which had grown corrupt in earthly passions, and hast raised all up from death to a life of incorruption. Wherefore, we all call thee blessed, as is meet, O all-glorious Virgin, as thou didst foretell.
Stavrotheotokion —
O all-immaculate Mother of Christ God, a sword pierced thine all-holy soul, when thou didst see thy Son and God crucified of His own will. Him do thou entreat without ceasing, O blessed one, that He grant us the forgiveness of our transgressions.
