Stanza

Definition: Poems are divided into parts, those parts are called stanza.

Example: 
      Stanza 1: 
      Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hopes for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.

Stanza 2: 
Beneath the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.

Stanza 3: 
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same
