The other three verses are:
If the Son shall set you free
Ye shall be free indeed
Ye shall know the truth, and it shall set you free
Hallelu, Hallelujah!
Let your light so shine before men that they may see
Your good works and glorify
Your Father in heaven
Hallelu, Hallelujah!
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart
He shall direct thy paths
In all thy ways acknowledge Him
Hallelu, Hallelujah!

My Heart says this is very Beautiful Spiritual Song. Thank you.
Seeking is a doing word, we put forward the desire to become more alike Him, by allowing Him to change us within our hearts, little by little, day by day, seeking His Righteousness leads us to His Kingdom. It’s interesting that it says Seek “First” and not just to seek. Thus it was written “You shall seek me, and find me”, when you search for me, with all your heart”. Asking and Knocking are doing words also.
With tears in my eyes, I ask our Father in Heaven, that I may be transformed little by little, day by day, as He leads me to see how he wants me to change, I ask not for myself but that I may love others more, as according to His word, I also “knock” by reminding Him that “he promised” us that “we will find him”. Therefore I pray for the right intention to seek first His Kingdom and His Character, with my whole heart.

If ye don't seek ye shall not find and if ye don"t knock the door won't be opened to the truth which is Jesus Christ. Alleluia.

Amen, praise the Lord. Hallelujah, Amen.
I was reading Luke 12:13-31 (parable of the rich fool) and thought of this hymn.
The key is to understand the Hebrew word translated 'righteousness' - 'tzedakah'. The rich man should have sought after God's righteousness/charity/equality by sharing his wealth with orphans, widows and foreigners rather than keeping it to himself. May His kingdom come and may we be those who bring it forward. Deut. 15:7-11; Deut. 26:12; Deut. 27:19; James 1:27.
