It was translated by English Anglican priest, scholar and hymnwriter, and later Roman Catholic convert-priest Edward Caswall (1814-1878).
With meter 6.5.6.5, tunes it has been set to include:
Who in bitter pains
Poured for me the lifeblood
From His sacred veins!
Grace and life eternal
In that blood I find;
Blest be His compassion,
Infinitely kind!
Blest through endless ages
Be the precious stream
Which from endless torments
Doth the world redeem!
There the fainting spirit
Drinks of life her fill;
There as in a fountain
Laves herself at will.
Abel’s blood for vengeance
Pleaded to the skies;
But the blood of Jesus
For our pardon cries.
Oft as it is sprinkled
On our guilty hearts,
Satan in confusion
Terror-struck, departs.
Oft as earth exulting
Wafts its praise on high,
Angel hosts rejoicing,
Make their glad reply.
T:Glory be to Jesus
T:WEM IN LEIDENSTAGEN

Lyrics
Glory be to Jesus,Who in bitter pains
Poured for me the lifeblood
From His sacred veins!
Grace and life eternal
In that blood I find;
Blest be His compassion,
Infinitely kind!
Blest through endless ages
Be the precious stream
Which from endless torments
Doth the world redeem!
There the fainting spirit
Drinks of life her fill;
There as in a fountain
Laves herself at will.
Abel’s blood for vengeance
Pleaded to the skies;
But the blood of Jesus
For our pardon cries.
Oft as it is sprinkled
On our guilty hearts,
Satan in confusion
Terror-struck, departs.
Oft as earth exulting
Wafts its praise on high,
Angel hosts rejoicing,
Make their glad reply.
