Vanilla JS version using XPath:

document.evaluate("//a[text()='Click Here']", document).iterateNext().click()

Here is a starter script that does that. Note that it uses jQuery and assumes you are running Firefox or using Tampermonkey, if you are on Chrome.

// ==UserScript==
// @name     _YOUR_SCRIPT_NAME
// @include  http://YOUR_SERVER.COM/YOUR_PATH/*
// @require  http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js
// @grant    GM_addStyle
// ==/UserScript==
/*- The @grant directive is needed to work around a design change
    introduced in GM 1.0.   It restores the sandbox.
*/

//--- Note that the contains() text is case-sensitive.
var TargetLink = $("a:contains('Click Here')")

if (TargetLink.length)
    window.location.href = TargetLink[0].href
