Psalm 22:6-8: "6 But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by the people. 7 All who see me mock me; they make moths at me; they wag their heads; 8 'He trusts in the LORD; let him deliver him; let him rescue him, for he delights in him!'"
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."
John 10:14-15: "14 'I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.'"
John 10:27-28: "27 'My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.'"
Hebrews 12:2: "looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."

LSB #449 and #450 are set to slightly different tunes, but #450 also has more verses. My verse numbers are taken from that setting.
The first two verses are drawn from Psalm 22, although parts of Isaiah 53 could also be cited. Isaiah 53 and John 10:14-15 (specifically "I lay down my life for the sheep") are in the third verse ("What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered / Was all for sinners' gain"). Jesus' name of "good shepherd" from John 10:14 is at the beginning of the fourth verse: "My Shepherd, now receive me." The next line "My Guardian, own me Thine" is taken from "I know my own and my own know me."
John 10:27-28 seems to appear in "O make me Thine forever!" and "Lord, let me never, never / Outlive my love for Thee" in the fifth verse and "Forsake me nevermore!" in the sixth. These lines have some resemblance to "I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand."
The verse from Hebrews appears in the second half of the seventh verse: "Mine eyes shall then behold Thee, / Upon Thy cross shall dwell."
