Fest soll mein Taufbund immer stehn

"Fest soll mein Taufbund immer stehn" (My baptismal bond shall stand firmly) is a Catholic hymn in German, with text by Friedrich Matthias Berghaus.

The text of "Fest soll mein Taufbund immer steh'n" was written, originally in four stanzas, by Friedrich Matthias Berghaus, a Catholic priest in Münster.

Christoph Bernhard Verspoell, also a priest there, included it in his hymnal Gesänge beim Römischkatholischen Gottesdienste nebst angehängtem Gebetbuche in 1810, with another edition in 1828.

[1] The melody was written later by Chrysanth Joseph Bierbaum (1789–1868), a vicar at St. Remigius in Bonn, where it was published in 1826.

Combined with new stanzas, it became a hymn for baptism and confession of creed, and was distributed in all German-speaking regions.
