O God of our salvation,
do not cast us off or forsake us.
In your sight our works are not perfect
(even with our own eyes, we see the flaws),
but for your servants' sake, do not destroy us all;
wake us up to our callings; strengthen what remains,
even if only fragments, so nothing will be lost.

Do not cast me off, do not forsake me,
O God of my salvation!
O God of my salvation!
Isa. 65:8
Thus says the LORD:
As the wine is found in the cluster,
and they say, "Do not destroy it,
for there is a blessing in it,"
so I will do for my servants' sake,
and not destroy them all. …"
As the wine is found in the cluster,
and they say, "Do not destroy it,
for there is a blessing in it,"
so I will do for my servants' sake,
and not destroy them all. …"
Rev. 3:2
"…Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is on the
point of death, for I have not found your works perfect in the sight of my God.
…" [The angel of the church in
Sardis]
John 6:11-12
Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he
distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.
When they were satisfied, he told his disciples, "Gather up the fragments
left over, so that nothing may be lost."
