J. Wilbur Chapman and "Our Great Savior": A Hymn Story to Color

A printable, kid-friendly look at the life and ministry of evangelist J. Wilbur Chapman.

Invite your children to discover the story behind the hymn “Our Great Savior” with this engaging coloring page set. Through simple illustrations, kids will follow how God worked in the life of John Wilbur Chapman—from his childhood in Indiana and the encouragement of a caring Sunday School teacher, to the day evangelist Dwight L. Moody helped him understand the promise of salvation from God’s Word.

As children color, they’ll see how Chapman later became a preacher who traveled from city to city telling others about Jesus. They’ll also learn how he helped organize large gospel meetings and trained helpers like Billy Sunday, who later became an evangelist himself.

Along the way, this coloring set gently reminds children that Jesus is the greatest Friend anyone can have—saving, helping, keeping, and loving everyone who trusts in Him.

Designed for family learning, hymn study, or quiet reflection alongside the accompanying doodle hymn story, these pages help children connect history, faith, and creativity in a meaningful way.

After checkout, you’ll be prompted to create a Hymns Illustrated account so you can access your coloring pages anytime in your Member Dashboard.
