The 22-year-old initially signed for the U's in January 2023 from Norwich, making 35 appearances for the club across two and a half seasons, before making the move to Lincoln last summer for an undisclosed fee on a four-year contract.
Thorn now returns to Colchester having made just three league appearances during The Imps' League One title-winning campaign last season.
He becomes U's head coach Danny Cowley's seventh signing of the summer window.

Image source, Getty ImagesLincoln City midfielder Jack Moylan appears to be edging closer to a move away from the club.
The Republic of Ireland international was not involved in the side's last pre-season friendlies against Doncaster Rovers and Barnsley amid links to fellow Championship side Cardiff City.
"There will be a lot of disappointment over losing a calibre of player like Jack Moylan and what he offers both on and off the pitch," BBC Radio Lincolnshire's Rob Makepeace said.
"We would expect things to be finalised within the comings days in regards to that [move to Cardiff] Lincoln won't want this dragging on.
"As you would imagine Lincoln fans are not too happy about the situation so they will want to get this done and dusted."

Newly-promoted League One side Bromley have signed midfielder JJ McKiernan from Championship side Lincoln City for an undisclosed fee.

Bromley, who were League Two champions last season under boss Andy Woodman, have not disclosed the length of McKiernan's contract with the club.

Image source, Getty ImagesZane Okoro has made seven appearances for Lincoln City in all competitions
Tranmere Rovers have signed Lincoln City winger Zane Okoro on a season-long loan deal as well as midfielder Jordan Davies on a one-year contract.
Okoro, 19, has also signed a new contract with the Imps to extend his stay with the Championship club until the end of 2028-29.
He spent last season on loan in the Northern Ireland Premiership with Coleraine and scored three goals in 25 league appearances.
"I feel like this is a really good place for me to get a lot of games in, provide goals and assists, and most importantly, to win," Okoro told the club website., external
Davies, 27, joins having previously turned out for Wrexham, Brighton & Hove Albion, Grimsby Town and Fleetwood Town.

And although the result would not have been what they would have liked as they lost 2-0 to Leyton Orient, the message from head coach Tom Shaw was certainly a positive one in his post-match interview.
He told me he was happy with how things are progressing three weeks into pre-season and the players will now start to build up their minutes, beginning this week with two behind-closed-doors friendlies as preparations continue for a crack at the Championship.
One question the fans have is: when will they see Josh Honohan in an Imps shirt? He joined in January 2026 but came across from Shamrock Rovers with an injury, which meant he did not play a part in last season's League One title win.
He's yet to play any minutes so far this pre-season, which has made some fans nervous - however, he was taking part in full training with the squad this week.
I think the fact Josh joined with a reputation that excited Lincoln fans makes them impatient to see what kind of player the Imps brought to the club and that's totally understandable.
However, if there's one thing City have done very well over the past couple of years, it's making sure they have players available for long periods of time rather than constantly breaking down through injury. They will make sure Josh is ready to go before throwing him into the squad and risking a further injury lay-off.
The start of the new campaign is now approaching fast and while the Imps go into it as underdogs, it's a tag they've thrived on. Knowing the characters in that squad, plus adding some quality in the coming weeks, you'd be writing off City as relegation certainties at your peril.
