'Happy is this Hour') is a Cebuano Christmas carol composed in 1933 by Vicente Rubi with lyrics by Mariano Vestil.
Its famous counterpart is Ang Pasko Ay Sumapit, a modified version of the song written by Levi Celerio with lyrics in Tagalog (but not as a translation of the original); however, Celerio is often given all songwriting credit without any acknowledgment of Rubi and Vestil.
[1] Pasiuna Kasadya ning taknaa Dapit sa kahimayaan Mao ray among nakita Ang panagway nga masanagon Bulahan ug bulahan Ang tagbalay nga gi-awitan Awit nga halandumon sa tanang Pasko Magmalipayon!
Koro Pasiuna Pagtapos Awit nga halangdumon sa tanang Pasko Magmalipayon!
Chorus Preface Coda With songs of noble sound and word, and every Christmas day Will be full of bliss!
