Тропарь преподобного Евфимия, схимника Печерского, глас 4
Евфимие всечестне, преподобным единоревнителю и Ангелом собеседниче, получивый с ними житием своим чистым и безмолвным вечная благая, молися Господеви присно о всех нас, да и мы тех же благ сподобимся.

Кондак преподобного Евфимия, схимника Печерского, глас 4
Яко приял еси схиму, бысть выну тих и молчалив, преподобне, никогдаже бо ни с ким, разве молитв ко Господу, ничесоже глаголал еси, и пищи, разве зелия сурова, никоея же вкушал еси. Тем обрет днесь пищу неиждившую на небеси, Евфимие, моли и нам тояжде причаститися.
