This time it's Little and Large with the big tune from the Pearl Fishers.

Incidentally this is good for observing French prosody. Basically, if silent "e" is followed by a consonant you pronounce it. If followed by a vowel it is silent.

Au fond du temple saint.
O fond du tem - pler saint.

et murmure étonnée
é murmur é-to-né-er

except in modern worship songs when you do anything you can think of to try and get the words to fit the tune (so just like in English !)
