By cultivating the words of the Lord,/ thou didst blossom with grace like an olive tree./ With the oil of divine virtues and by thy confession, blessed Hilary,/ thou didst gladden those who faithfully cry to thee:/ Glory to Christ Who has strengthened thee; glory to Him Who has crowned thee;/ glory to Him Who through thee works healings for all.
With two companions thou didst desire a life of prayer and solitude,/ O pious Susanna,/ but by thy virtuous example, thy gift of healing and thy consolation for the afflicted/ thou didst enrage the God-hating Diocletian./ Wherefore, O holy one, pray to God for us/ that we, like thee, may be faithful even unto death,/ that our souls may be saved.
Though contesting with fire thou wast not burned,/ for the dew of God refreshed thee./ Thou didst rejoice to accomplish struggles beyond nature./ As thou art now among the righteous, O Hilary, remember us.
O holy Susanna, the purity and constancy of thy life was a hymn of praise to God/ Who sent Angels to escort thy soul to heaven./ At the sight of this the executioners fell back with fear/ and thou, most pious virgin, didst urge them to their task of awarding thee a martyr's crown,/ the guarantee of eternal salvation.
