Searching for lyrics: "I traveled down a lonely road..."

[SKoranda]

The first verse was something like this:

"I traveled down a lonely road and no one seemed to care. The burden on my weary back had bowed me to dispair. I oft' complained to Jesus how folks were treating me. And then I heard HIm say so tenderly. I walked the road of Calvary.... Just take your cross and follow me."

I remember that there were three verses and the song was slow and mellow. Could anyone find the entire lyrics and or the music and let me know?

This song was in one of those old Low Voice Songbooks. I believe the book color was brown and I believe it was published in the 1950s or 60s.

FOLLOW ME

I TRAVELED DOWN A LONELY ROAD
AND NO ONE SEEMED TO CARE
THE BURDEN ON MY WEARY BACK
HAD BOWED ME TO DESPAIR
I OFT COMPLAINED TO JESUS
HOW FOLKS WERE TREATING ME
AND THEN I HEARD HIM SAY SO TENDERLY


MY FEEL WERE ALSO WEARY
UPON THE CALV'RY ROAD
THE CROSS BECAME SO HEAVY
I FELL BENEATH THE LOAD
BE FAITHFUL WEARY PILGRIM
THE MORNING I CAN SEE
JUST LIFT YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW CLOSE TO ME


I WORK SO HARD FOR JESUS
I OFTEN BOAST AND SAY
I'VE SACRIFICED A LOT OF THINGS
TO WALK THE NARROW WAY
I GAVE UP FAME AND FORTUNE,
I'M WORTH A LOT TO THEE
AND THEN I HEAR HIM GENTLY SAY TO ME


I LEFT THE THRONE OF GLORY
AND COUNTED IT BUT LOSS
MY HANDS WERE NAILED IN ANGER
UPON A CRUEL CROSS
BUT NOW WE'LL MAKE THE JOURNEY
WITH YOUR HAND SAFE IN MINE
SO LIFT YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW CLOSE TO ME


O JESUS IF I DIE UPON
A FOREIGN FIELD SOME DAY
TWOULD BE NO MORE THAN LOVE DEMANDS
NO LESS COULD I REPAY
NO GREATER LOVE HATH MORTAL MAN
THAN FOR A FRIEND TO DIE
THESE ARE THE WORDS HE GENTLY SPOKE TO ME


IF JUST A CUP OF WATER
I PLACE WITHIN YOUR HAND
THEN JUST A CUP OF WATER
IS ALL THAT I DEMAND
BUT IF BY DEATH TO LIVING
THEY CAN THY GLORY SEE
I'LL TAKE MY CROSS AND FOLLOW CLOSE TO THEE

Thanks so much, whoever posted this.
I love this old song, but couldn't remember all the words.
