The word "thee" is a pronoun and is an "archaic or dialect" (Oxford)  way to say "you" when "you" is a singular object It's an anachronism used mostly in religious settings nowadays. 

The word "the" is an article and is correctly used in your example. It is sometimes pronounced as "thee" when placed before a vowel but the spelling doesn't change.
