Matthew 15:29-30: "29 Jesus went on from there and walked beside the Sea of Galilee. And he went up on the mountain and sat down there. 30 And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them..."
Isaiah 53:4-5: "4 Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed."
Isaiah 53:11: "Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities."

Jesus, refuge of the weary,
Blest Redeemer, whom we love,
Fountain in life's desert dreary,
Savior from the world above;
Often have Your eyes, offended,
Gazed upon the sinner's fall;
Yet upon the cross extended,
You have borne the pain of all.
Do we pass that cross unheeding,
Breathing no repentant vow,
Though we see You wounded, bleeding,
See Your thorn-encircled brow?
Yet Your sinless death has brought us
Life eternal, peace, and rest;
Only what Your grace has taught us
Calms the sinner's deep distress.
Jesus, may our hearts be burning
With more fervent love for You;
May our eyes be ever turning
To behold Your cross anew
Till in glory, parted never
From the blessed Savior's side,
Graven in our hearts forever,
Dwell the cross, the Crucified.

The verses from Matthew appear in the first verse, specifically the lines "Jesus, refuge of the weary" and "You have borne the pain of all." While the contexts are different, the focus is the same: Jesus' compassion for all. "You have borne the pain of all" also resembles the first part of Isaiah 53:4: "Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows...." For "refuge of the weary," Matthew 11:28 is also relevant: "'Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.'"
The verses from Isaiah both seem to be in the second verse. The lines "We see You wounded, bleeding, / See Your thorn-encircled brow" recall the list of abuses in verses 4 and 5: "we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted... he was wounded... crushed... upon him was the chastisement...." The lines "Your sinless death has brought us / Life eternal, peace, and rest" is present in both selections from Isaiah: "upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed" in verse 5 and "by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities" in verse 11.
