Troparion

Holy Martyr Hyacinth, Troparion, Tone IV —
In his suffering, O Lord,/ Thy martyr Hyacinth received an imperishable crown from Thee our God;/ for, possessed of Thy might,/ he set at nought the tormentors and crushed the feeble audacity of the demons.// By his supplications save Thou our souls.

Kontakion, Tone VI —
Thy martyr, O Christ, having acquired Thy Faith,/ like a tree of life in the midst of his soul,/ became more honorable than the Garden of Eden,/ boldly destroying the tree of the serpent's deception by his spirit,/ and he was crowned with thy glory,// O greatly Merciful One.
