You can try something like this:

Given markup:

<div id="id1">Some first text <!--more--> here.</div>
<a>Hide</a>
<div id="id2">Some second text is <!--more--> right here.</div>
<a>Hide</a>​

Add the following javascript:

//1. On page load, wrap text to be hidden in <span>
$(function() {
    $("div").each(function() {
        var html = $(this).html();
        $(this).html(html.replace('<!--more-->', '<span class="hiddenText">', html) + '</span>');
    });

    // 2. Toggle visibility of span tags when clicking link
    $('a').click(function() {
        if ($(this).html() == 'Hide') {
            $(this).prev('div').children('.hiddenText').hide();
            $(this).html('Show');
        } else {
            $(this).prev('div').children('.hiddenText').show();
            $(this).html('Hide');
        }
    });
});

UPDATE: Updated solution to not rely on separate CSS class to hide/show text.
