Is the hymn Amazing Grace an example of a simple or compound rhythmic meter?

Simple meter means a bar can be divided into 2 equal parts without splitting beats. Given that Amazing Grace is most commonly scored in 3/4 time, this is not possible. Therefore, Amazing Grace is an example of compound meter. However, if you mean is it an example of simple or compound time in musical composition, then, being 3/4, it is simple. That's the simple answer. Nowadays virtually any song can be adapted to become either simple or compound meter. However, it usually loses much of its original flavour. For instance, I've played the tune in jazz where Amazing Grace is sped up so it's played in a quick 2. In this case, the words "Amazing Grace" would be contained within the first bar ("Ama-" is beat 1, "zing Grace" is beat 2). When it's played in 2, it is technically simple meter. However, this takes a lot of artistic license with the original tune. Hope this explains things.
