Christoph Bernhard Verspoell (15 May 1743 – 5 January 1818) was a German Catholic priest, writer and hymnwriter.
He was the son of the baker Joan Bernard Verspoell and his wife Anna Catharina Becker.
From 20 January 1779, he was also vicar at St. Crucis of St. Ludgeri [de], holding these posts until his death.
In 1810, he published his hymnal Gesänge beim römisch-katholischen Gottesdienste, nebst angehängtem Gebetbuche, also called the Verspoellsches Gesangbuch, containing the texts of hymns and prayers,[4] also Melodien zu den Gesängen beim römisch-katholischen Gottesdienst with the melodies,[5] and Orgelbegleitung zu den Gesängen beim römisch-katholischen Gottesdienste with organ settings.
He included the hymn "Fest soll mein Taufbund immer stehen",[1] intended for the Feast of Corpus Christi, but now used shortened for baptisms.
