		Let There Be Light	Thou, whose almighty word				English	John Marriott		6.6.4.6.6.6.4	2 Kings 10:15This hymn's prayer for divine light echoes the spiritual darkness and need for God's truth in Jehu's violent reformation of Israel.				Year A, Ordinary Time, Proper 9 (14)								465	1	23844	1
		O God, We Praise Thee, and Confess	O God, we praise Thee, and confess		Te Deum Laudamus	Latin	English	St. Ambrose		8.6.8.6	2 Kings 10:19This hymn praises God's divine perfections and majesty, echoing the demonstration of God's sovereign power over false worship in 2 Kings 10.

		Swing Low, Sweet Chariot	I looked over Jordan, and what did I see	Swing low, sweet chariot			English		Swing low, sweet chariot, coming for ...		2 Kings 10I don't see a clear connection between this hymn and 2 Kings 10, as that chapter focuses on Jehu's violent political purge rather than themes of heavenly transportation or salvation present in "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.

		Rapturous Anticipation	Come, let us ascend, My companion and friend				English	Charles Wesley		6.6.9.6.6.9	2 Kings 10:15This hymn echoes Jehu's urgent call "Come with me" (2 Kings 10:16) as an invitation to ascend to God's presence.												101	0	99248	1

		As God loves us, so let us love each other	Let love be real, in giving and receiving	As God loves us, so let us love each other				Michael Forster		11.10.11.10.11.10 with refrain	2 Kings 10:15I appreciate the context, but I need to note that 2 Kings 10 describes Jehu's violent purge of Ahab's family and Baal worshipers - a passage about judgment and political upheaval. This hymn about genuine love and reconciliation doesn't appear to have a meaningful connection to that particular scripture passage. If there is indeed a connection intended, could you verify the scripture reference? Otherwise, I'd need more information about why these were paired together to write an accurate explanation.												2	0	1035628	1
