Default Lesser known Handel choruses

We all know the Hallelujah choruses. But ouside the world of Messiah and maybe Zadok the Priest, what is your favourite Handel chorus?

I have a few one (let say my top 5)

-"Serve the Lord with greatness" - Utrecht Jubilate
-"Sing Ye To The Lord" - Israel in Egypt
-"He gave them hailstones for rain" - Israel in Egypt
-"Tu es Sacerdos" - Dixit Dominus
-"Praise the Lord with harp and tongue" - Solomon

And surely a lot more.
