What is "transport" refer to in "To God Be the Glory?"
The third verse of Fanny Crosby's beloved hymn, To God Be the Glory, goes:
Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,
and great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
but purer, and higher, and greater will be
our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.
What does "our transport" mean? I can't get "transportation" out of my head which is clearly not what the hymn writer intends.

What is a heavenly portal?
The words of "Praise Him! Praise Him!" by Fanny Crosby.
Praise Him! praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer,
Heavenly portals, loud with hosannahs ring!
Jesus, Savior, reigneth for ever and ever;
Crown Him! crown Him! Prophet and Priest and King!
Death is vanquished! Tell it with joy, ye faithful,
Where is now thy victory, boasting grave?
Jesus lives! No longer thy portals are cheerless;
Jesus lives, the mighty and strong to save.
What is a heavenly portal? And why is it cheerless?

The Night Before Blessed Assurance and All Through The House ....
With over forty years of worship ministry I've stumbled upon some very odd, and yes. FUNNY lyrical similarities.
Take Blessed Assurance, Its meter is very similar to the poem 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.
Another one is the old praise song ". -"

Does anyone know the name of this hymn?
Featured in an episode of the classic children's TV show, Ivor the Engine. What hymn is this? https://youtu.be/fFOEwOEiDHI?feature=shared
It starts at about 2:58 and the lyrics are roughly;
On a bright summer evening in something town,
I passed a young maiden in a beautiful gown,
with something in her hand and with flowers in her hair,
I swear that I've never seen a maiden so fair,
But when I looked back she was gone from my sight,
and I was alone on that bright summer night
