Henry Paice

Paice, Henry, was a Baptist minister at Waddesdon Hill, Bucks, in 1795, and, subsequently, at other places, the last being London. During his residence at Broseley, he published a New Selection of Hymns, taken chiefly from the best Periodical Publications, with Additions and Improvements, printed, &c, by W. Smith, Iron bridge. It is undated: but is probably earlier than 1816. One of these, “Great Source of uncreated Light" (Electing Grace), in 6 stanzas, has come down through Denham's Collection and others to modern hymn-books, in 3 stanzas, as, "Ah! but for free and sovereign grace." [Rev. W. R. Stevenson, M.A.]
