The origins of the Aomori Christian Center's "Moya Camp Song" are attested in the Center's 40th anniversary anthology.  It was written in the spring of 1973 on the night train by a young lay leader on his way home from a camp ministry conference.  It has had a great impact on many campers over the years, and singing this song every morning is among my own greatest memories from Bible camp.

As always, much is lost in the translation below, and there are no doubt better ways to render it into the English. 

THE MOYA CAMP SONG（Verse　H.T.・Music　H.M.）

１．By the light of the dawn, waking

　　Begin the day with this prayer

　　"Lord, this day also, please be my help"
　　So it taught me, so it taught me
　　Moya Camp

２．Under the wide blue sky, arms linked

　That song sung with a friend

　Surely God is listening

　Abounding in grace, abounding in grace

　　Moya Camp

３．Under the starry sky, when I prayed

　　God's light shone on me

　　From today, I also am God's child

　　I'll never forget, I'll never forget

　Moya Camp
