Ang Pasko ay Sumapit
Maligayang Pasko at Masaganang Bagong Taon (English: Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year), also known as Ang Pasko ay Sumapit (English: Christmas has Arrived), is a traditional Filipino Christmas song. It was originally composed by Vicente D. Rubi and Mariano Vestil in 1933 as Kasadya ning Táknaa (English: How Blissful is this Season!). A version of the song in Tagalog was used by Josefino Cenizal as a marching song for "Ang Pugad ng Aguila" (Hawk's Nest) in 1938. National Artist Levi Celerio also wrote Tagalog lyrics to the song during 1950s. The song is still sung today in various communities, especially in Churches both in the Philippines and abroad.

Kasadya ni'ng Táknaa
Dapit sa kahimayaan.
Mao ray among nakita,
Ang panagway nga masanagon.
Buláhan ug buláhan
Ang tagbaláy nga giawitan.
Awit nga halandumon,
Ug sa tanang pasko magmalípayon.
Kasadya ni'ng Táknaa

Buláhan ug buláhan
Ang tagbaláy nga giawitan.
Awit nga halandumon,
Ug sa tanang pasko magmalípayon.
Bag-ong tuig, bág-ong kinabúhì.
Duyog sa átong mga pagbati.
Atong awiton ug atong laylayon
Aron magmalípayon.

Christmas has arrived
Let us sing
Beautiful hymns
Because God is Love
When Christ was born
There were Three Kings who visited
And each one offered
their respective gifts
Chorus:
It's New Year so we must change our lives
so that our people will be glad
Let us strive in order for us to achieve
prosperity
Let us sing
While the world is tranquil
The day has arrived
of the child that came from heaven
Let us love one another
And follow the golden rule
And from now on
Even though it's not Christmas let's share

Ang Pasko ay sumapit
Tayo ay mangagsiawit
Ng magagandang himig
Dahil sa ang Diyós ay pag-ibig
Nang si Kristo'y isilang
May tatlong haring nagsidalaw
At ang bawat isa ay nagsipaghandog
Ng tanging alay
Koro:
Bagong taon ay magbagong-buhay
Nang lumigaya ang ating bayan
Tayo'y magsikap upang makamtán
Natin ang kasaganaan
Tayo'y mangagsiawit
Habang ang mundo'y tahimik
Ang araw ay sumapit
Ng sanggol na dulot ng langit
Tayo ay magmahalan
Ating sundin ang gintong aral
At magbuhat ngayon
Kahit hindî Paskó ay magbigayan
