Philipp Friedrich Hiller (1699–1769) was a prominent Lutheran clergyman and hymn writer from the Evangelical Church of Southern Germany. Born in Mühlhausen an der Enz to a preacher, he studied under Johann Albrecht Bengel before serving as a pastor in several small villages. He eventually settled in Steinheim in 1732. Although he lost his voice in 1751, he continued his religious work through writing, producing a vast collection of sacred poetry during his later years.
