Two week ago, "Amazing Grace" was one of the hymns I sang in church. I noticed something about the last phrase in the third verse. In both Lutheran Worship and the Lutheran Service Book, the tune ("New Britain") is in F major, and the note to which "home" in the line "His grave will lead me home" is sung is an F - the tonic or "home note."
In that phrase, there's a home both literally in the text and musically in the tune.
