Troparion
In thy patience, O venerable father, thou didst acquire thy reward,
having endured in prayer without ceasing, and loved the poor and provided for them.
Beseech Christ God O merciful and blessed Sampson, that our souls be saved.

Rejoicing with psalms and hymns, O divinely wise and venerable Sampson,
and hastening to thy divine shrine, as to that of an excellent physician and a right acceptable intercessor,
we glorify Christ Who bestoweth upon thee such grace of healing.
