Torparion and Kontokion to the Holy Prophet Samuel

As you know, beginning at sundown last night and until sundown today, it is the commemoration of the Holy Prophet Samuel, the little boy's heavenly patron. Here are the two songs that are added to the daily prayers.

Troparion of the Holy Prophet Samuel (tone 4)
Thou didst blossom as a scion of righteousness from a barren mother, O great Prophet Samuel. Thou didst reveal beforehand the blessings we should receive;
From childhood thou didst serve the Lord in the priestly office.
As a prophet thou anointedst kings
Ever remember those who acclaim thee.

Kontakion of the Holy Prophet Samuel (tone 8)
Thou wast a precious gift to God before thy conception,
Thou didst serve Him from infancy like an angel
And wast granted to foretell future events, wherefore we cry to thee:
Rejoice, O Samuel, thou Prophet of God and great high priest.
