Amazing Grace sounds complete because the melody spends so much time on notes that already belong to the home chord. The arrangement does not need to chase every passing tone. It can stay calm, move only when the phrase asks for lift, and return home with very little friction.
The strongest notes are the ones that land on downbeats, stretch longer than the passing notes, or mark the peak of a phrase. When you reduce the melody to those notes, the chord choices become easier to hear: home, lift, tension, and release.
Most of the traditional melody sits comfortably inside the home triad. The IV chord creates lift near the high point, while V and suspended colors add a temporary pull before resolving home.
Traditional hymnal, Celtic folk, Christian rock, and contemporary a cappella versions are compared as different answers to the same melody. Each one changes the emotional arc by choosing a different harmonic path.

G and C are common for guitar and piano, but the best key depends on the singer. The Chris Tomlin-style chart here is available in G, F, A, E, D, and C.
The traditional hymnal setting is commonly treated in 3/4. Modern worship arrangements often move it into 4/4 for a steadier band feel.
