Isaiah 11:10: "In that day the root of Jesse, who shall stand as a signal for the peoples - of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious."
Isaiah 11:12: "He will raise a signal for the nations and will assemble the banished of Israel, and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth."
1 Peter 2:24: "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed."
Matthew 20:28: "'even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.'"

The text is public domain:
The royal banners forward go;
The cross shows forth redemption's flow,
Where He, by whom our flesh was made,
Our ransom in His flesh has paid:
Where deep for us the spear was dyed,
Life's torrent rushing from His side,
To wash us in the precious flood
Where flowed the water and the blood.
Fulfilled is all that David told
In sure prophetic song of old,
That God the nations' king should be
And reign in triumph from the tree,
On whose hard arms, so widely flung,
The weight of this world's ransom hung,
The price of humankind to pay
And spoil the spoiler of his prey.
O tree of beauty, tree most fair,
Ordained those holy limbs to bear:
Gone is thy shame, each crimsoned bough
Proclaims the King of Glory now.
To Thee, eternal Three in One,
Let homage meet by all be done;
As by the cross Thou dost restore,
So guide and keep us evermore.
Amen.

The two verses from Isaiah 11 both seem to appear in the third verse. Jesus "stand[s] as a signal for the peoples" as "the nations' king," and He's also literally "raise[d as] a signal for the nations" on the cross.
1 Peter 2:24 appears in the fourth verse: "On whose hard arms, so widely flung, / The weight of this world's ransom hung...." The next line ("The price of humankind to pay") also seems to draw from "'giv[ing] his life as a ransom for many'" from Matthew 20:28.
The second verse draws from John 19:34: "But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water."
