In 1958 Pastor Mosie Lister wrote the words to a Gospel song entitled, “Till the Storm Passes By.” Popular among many in the South over the past half century, missionary Tom Jackson heartily sang its words in the late 1970s as he led the funeral procession down the aisle of his home church on the way to the cemetery to bury his wife. Cochran, Georgia native Mosie Lister was one of Southern Gospel music’s most prolific songwriters. Born on September 8, 1921, Lister was the son of Willis and Pearl Holland Lister. He became a musician at an early age with his father as a teacher, learning to play the violin by the age of twelve. As a singer, he was an original member in The Statesmen Quartet, the Sunny South Quartet, and the Melody Masters. In 1976 Lister was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and the Southern Gospel Music Association in 1997. His songs have been recorded by nearly every Southern Gospel artist.
