he de + infinitive

I was reading the Spanish lyrics to a Christmas song (OK - I wasn't paying attention during the Mass like I should have been!) I saw this construction a couple of times, and didn't know if it was correct or maybe was the use of a little poetic license. I believe the phrase was "he de cantar".

Haber de + infinitive is a bit like tener que + infinitive - expressing obligation but I think it's a bit weaker than tener+que
